This is so sad to hear. I never had the fortune to meet Eugene, but his messages on this listserv were always treasure troves of information. He had a wealth of knowledge and was always willing to take the time to share it, and his messages
on the philosophical aspects of safety were always thoughtful and insightful. I’m glad that some of that wisdom will be preserved in the Eugene’s Corner websites, but they’ll be a pale shadow of the man himself. If there’s any sort of memorial fund or something
like that, I’m sure there are members of DCHAS who would be interested in contributing.

I acknowledge that the land on which I live and work is the ancestral and unceded land of the
Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. As an uninvited guest on these lands, I am a beneficiary of the ongoing displacement of the Ohlone people. I pay my respects to the Native peoples, past and present.

It is sad to inform the division members that Eugene Ngai, a long-time member of the division and recipient of 2011 ACS Howard Fawcett Award for his contributions
to chemical safety, has passed away on July 3rd after a short battle with tumor uncovered in April.
Eugene just finished the establishment of “Eugene’s Corner” websites in April this year which contains more than 100 articles from his 50 years’ experiences
in the development and safety of specialty compressed gases. “Eugene’s Corner” can be found in the following three websites:
1. Dr. Christina Baxter, Hazard 3, created a space on their website
https://hazard3.com/
2. Semiconductor Environmental Health and Safety Association (SESHA) website
https://sesha.org/
3. Lynne Kilpatrick, HMEx,
