Robert N. Hall, 96, Whose Inventions Are Everywhere, Is Dead
- Nrbelex 8y agoAn interesting note (maybe a 2016 tag is appropriate?): > Yet for all the widespread familiarity of what Dr. Hall wrought as a remarkably inventive physicist, his death, at 96, on Nov. 7, 2016, gained little notice. An announcement paid for by his family appeared in two upstate New York newspapers — The Times Union of Albany and The Daily Gazette of Schenectady — and General Electric, in a company publication, published a remembrance a month later. But otherwise the news of Dr. Hall’s death did not travel very far.
