Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

[Gütlich, Philipp <guetlich AT uni-mainz.de>]

Dear Frank,

Angelika and I returned home yesterday from a two-week-stay in the Austrian 
mountains, in a place with very poor internet connection. That's why I have 
read your very sad message about Sue's passing only a few hours ago. 
What can I say? I am deeply shocked! I had no information whatsoever about 
Sue's severe illness, giving rise to a particularly disconcerted and 
emotional feeling at this very moment.
I first met Sue way back at an early stage of the yearly British Moessbauer 
Spectroscopy Discussion Group Meetings. From the very first moment we both 
felt that there is "fine-tuned" resonance between us, which has augmented and 
intensified over the years through her regular attending our Seeheim 
Workshops.
I should like to kindly ask you, Frank, to convey my personal condolence to 
Sue's family. As an Honorary Member of IBAME I also should like to add the 
condolences of my German colleagues. Sue shall have an unforgettable fixed 
place in our memories.

Philipp

Colleagues

It is with much sadness that I must tell you that Sue Forder died on Sunday 
17 July. Sue underwent major surgery last year and subsequent treatment 
enabled her to recover and return to her research work and enjoy life with 
her family. Unfortunately her health deteriorated rapidly last week and she 
passed away on Sunday evening.

Sue's professional life was centred in Sheffield Hallam University.  She was 
an excellent teacher whose professionalism and dedication was appreciated by 
the student body.  Her research work in recent years has been focused on 
industrial applications of Mossbauer spectroscopy and she introduced the 
power of the technique to several industrial organisations within the UK. Sue 
was a thoughtful and careful experimentalist and was highly regarded by 
students and colleagues who worked with her.

Sue has been the UK's representative on IBAME for several years and she was 
particularly supportive of the development of ISIAME.  She coordinated the UK 
Mossbauer community over many years with efficiency and effectiveness.

Sue had marvellous personal qualities. She was honest, full of integrity, and 
had a great sense of humanity.  Her presence within the UK community will be 
greatly missed and I have today conveyed condolences to her family on behalf 
of her UK and international colleagues.
