	Gen Shirane, a giant in the field of neutron scattering, died 
suddenly on Sunday, January 16, 2005.  Gen had a 50 year career in 
neutron scattering, most of it working at Brookhaven's High Flux Beam 
Reactor.  He performed many seminal experiments and published more 
that 700 papers on a wide variety of topics ranging from 
ferroelectricity to low dimensional solids and High Tc.
	A Memorial tribute to Gen will be held  at 2:00 PM on 
Saturday, Feb. 12, 2005 in the Physics Department's Seminar Room at 
Brookhaven National Laboratory. If you would like to attend, please

school and college students.
