DAVID PRICE
Our President Kevin writes ...
It is my sad duty to have to tell you that one of our members David Price passed away peacefully in Wollongong Hospital last Tuesday evening.
He is survived by his wife Jacqui who has presented here on a number of occasions and was a nominee for Secretary at our recent AGM. They only joined U3A at the beginning of this year.
David was a quiet, unassuming man but with a fierce intellect. He was a distinguished scientist. He was awarded the title of Fellow of the University of Wollongong in 2013.
He specialised in, not quite sure of the scientific term, but something like forensic anthropology using techniques like sedimentary thermo luminescence of which he was one of the pioneers of this technique, which was his major contribution to this scientific field. He also used carbon dating, use of isotypes and DNA sequencing.
David’s health had deteriorated in his latter years and Jacqui became his ever faithful, ever loving carer.
Vale David. I personally will miss you.
