Erratum

An obituary for Marion Curley that appeared in the Dec. 4 issue of Tech Talk incorrectly used male pronouns. The corrected obituary is as follows:

Marion Curley of Everett, a former administrator in the Department of Chemistry, died on Oct. 13 at age 78. She retired in 1994 after working at MIT for 51 years. She is survived by a sister, Helen M. Curley of Everett. A funeral Mass was said for her on Oct. 16 in St. Therese Church in Everett. She was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett.

A version of this article appeared in MIT Tech Talk on December 11, 2002.
