Department Mourns Passing of Clark Swanson

Marvin Clark Swanson

The Department of Astronomy mourns the loss of Clark Swanson, who was an enthusiastic friend and generous supporter of the department.  He was a remarkable polymath, an influential businessman, and a joy to talk to. A link to his obituary is here: https://www.dispatch.com/obituaries/pwoo0446650  

The family has requested donations to The Ohio State University Department of Astronomy and the Resurrection Catholic School, in Kansas City, KS in lieu of flowers. Should you wish to donate to the Department of Astronomy in Clark's memory, please visit https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/37054.
