I regret hearing about the death this past February of my longtime friend and colleague Stan Katz. We were active in the Association of Schools of Allied Health Sciences from the 1970´s until the late 1980´s. Stan was chair of the International Affairs Committee. I was Vice Chair. He was a clinical medical technologist and dean at Quinipiac College. Stan and his wife Sylvia were wonderful people and I count it an honor to have known them. God rest their gentle souls.

I was grateful that I met Mr Katz. Stan was the navigator for my father Bill Stevens who piloted the plane they flew in WW II. Stan and Sylvia graciously hosted me at their home so that I could tour the Quinipiac Allied Health school when I decided to become a physical therapist. He made a strong impression on our family as lifelong friend of my father. Please accept my condolences, and on behalf of the Stevens family.

My wife Kathleen and I were saddened to hear of Stan's death.
I got to know him in 1963 when I took over the Clinical Microbiology labs at YNHH and, at the same time, started to teach Microbiology to Stan's class
of MedTech students. - Stan was an always serene and helpful collaborator
who made it easy and interesting for me to teach and to participate in the Lab meetings under Dave Seligson. He remained a good friend until 1980 when I left Yale.
He will be in my memory forever. One of our students was Irv Nachamkin who later became Prof of Microbiology at UPenn.
