	In Memoriam
	Emanuel “Bud” Tarrson, our 1997 Gold Medal recipient, passed away on 5 October. Bud was a remarkable man and a good friend to dentistry. His philanthropic generosity was well known. He matched our contribution to the National Museum of Dentistry to the amount of $25,000, which allowed us to locate our U.S. Hall of Fame venue there. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. The Board appropriated a memorial contribution in his name to the Foundation. Also departing our Academy for their reward were Drs. David “J.P.” Sneed and J. Murray Gavel.		Dr. J. Murray Gavel was a past International PFA President (1976) and received the 1985 Fauchard Gold Medal. He was 99 years old when he left us on 12 August. In 1996, the PFA Foundation granted $5,000 to the J. Murray Gavel Clinical Research Lectureship Fund at the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston. Upon his passing, the PFA Massachusetts Section sent a donation to the J. Murray Gavel Research Center at Tufts University.
