Dear Colleagues,

At this time of loss in our community, I am writing to let you know of the passing of two other members of our extended family, Dr. William E. Paul and Judge Richard Cudahy.

Dr. Paul was Naomi Mezey’s father-in-law and an extraordinarily accomplished research scientist at NIH.  As the New York Times obituary observed, he was "an immunologist who was credited with focusing the federal government’s disparate AIDS research programs in the 1990s on developing innovative therapies that saved millions of lives."

Judge Cudahy and his influential opinions are well-known to many members of the Law Center.  He was, as Vic Nourse wrote me, "the liberal lion of the Seventh Circuit."  The Judge was the grandfather of Vic’s children and, as she observed, "my dear friend and mentor."

I know you will join me in extending condolences to Naomi and Vic.  Please keep Dr. Paul and Judge Cudahy in your thoughts.

Sincerely,
Bill
