We are very sad to have to inform the ABRF community of the tragic death of Bob
Welch, chair of the Fragment Analysis Research Group. Bob
was an extremely talented and decent man who loved his family, friends, farm,
and work. Our prayers and thoughts go to his wife, Pat, and family.
Donations in honor of Bob Welch may be made to the Foundation for the National
Institutes of Health. At the request of Bob's wife, the funds will be used to
support postdoctoral fellowships in genetic epidemiology in DCEG or CGF. To
donate by mail, contributors should note in the memo part of the check that
the donation is in honor of Robert Welch. If one is donating online, there is
also a place to designate for whom it is being given.
