    In Memoriam
Milo W. Kaufman died September 13, 1999, in Ann Arbor, MI, at the age of 92. He served MEAM faculty and students as an engineering technician from 1945 to 1970. Professor Emeritus Walter R. Debler, who says Kaufman was extremely well liked and respected by both students and faculty, wrote an article at the time of Kaufman's retirement: "Milo was quite a guy; he still is. In my opinion, he represents the type of person who, having joined the University for reasons unknown, eventually takes on its image and distills its very essence...Milo was the kind of person who, upon seeing that a job needed doing, would go ahead an do it—even if he had to teach himself a few things beforehand."
