I worked for "Chuck Kenahan" when he was the Director of the Bureau of Mines College Park and Avondale, MD research centers. He was by far the most intelligent, compassionate, motivational and innovative leader I have ever worked with, and he was one of the first in this country to practice modern methods of management and directing research groups. To his family I express my deeply felt condolences and know that he will be dearly missed.
