Professor Jerry Nelson
Sadly, Prof. Jerry Nelson has passed away. He was extremely well-respected in the astronomy community and helped develop many young scientists and engineers' careers both on the mainland and here in Hawaii. He was the person who developed the segmented mirror design which has made the Keck telescopes so successful and will be used by the TMT and the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope. Jerry will be missed by many.
