| description | George W. Housner, C F Braun Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, died after a short illness on 10 November 2008, just a few weeks before his 98@@uth@ birthday. He was in the retirement home in Pasadena where he had lived for several years. For all of us who knew George, this marked the end of an era. Few people have guided and nurtured a field the way George led earthquake engineering over a period of several decades. He had a profound effect on many people and will long be remembered. His impact was so pervasive that he had earned the title of the "Father of Earthquake Engineering." This article records some of my thoughts about this remarkable man. |
