On Friday, July 28, Jed Brown, former Fermilab associate director, died
at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We highly value Jed's years of
service to Fermilab, a laboratory that he loved. Jed's wife, Jean, sent
me this letter that he wrote to his classmates at West Point, to be sent
after his death. I think he would be pleased to share it with all of you
in the Fermilab community. --Pier Oddone
On 28 July 2006, at the age of 63, Jed Brown, Brigadier General, United
States Army, Retired, turned in his mess kit and was honorably
discharged
from the ranks of the living.
He wishes to thank his dearly departed parents Ethel and Victor Brown
for bringing him into this world and raising him, West Point for preparing
him for life and sending him on his way, and the U.S. Army for providing him
an opportunity to be all he could be. Jed also thanks a considerable
number of dear and true friends and loved ones who, with their sincere love and
affection, have done so much to make his sojourn on earth such a
pleasant and enjoyable one, particularly his daughters Deborah and Suzanne and
his beloved wife Jean. He certainly hopes to meet them all again in the
foreseeable future at a happy reunion in the great beyond. His final
wishes are for God to bless his family, friends, classmates and comrades in
arms, and for God to bless America.
Gerald C. Brown If you wish to sign a book in memory of Jed Brown, please visit the second floor crossover of Wilson Hall near the west windows. The book, to be presented to Brown's wife, will be available for signing now through August 25. Burial will take place September 25 at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. The time of burial will be announced in a future issue of Fermilab Today. |

Nature, August 2, 2006: Particle physics: A finer constant For the first time in a decade, the precision of the fine-structure constant - central to understanding the electromagnetic force - has improved. But even greater accuracy is required to test new physics.
How does the colour of a rose relate to the hardness of oak? To physicists, both result from electromagnetism, an interaction whose strength is encoded in one pure number - the fine-structure constant. Appropriately for something introduced at the dawn of quantum mechanics, the fine-structure constant is denoted by the Greek letter alpha.

"There are enormous benefits to having everyone come face to face and participate with the other area systems and with their points of contact," Kuchler said. "These formal and informal discussions are essential to the progress that we have been able to make so far."
