It it with deepest regret that I must inform you, my fellow RUG
members, that my friend and our fellow RUG member, Les Clark, passed
away in his sleep on March 7, 2007.  Les had been ill for some time,
was wheel chair bound and dependent on an oxygenator.

The following is the text from a New York Times obituary for Les. Rest in
Peace.

CLARK, LESLIE L – 78, of Edgewater, NJ, died March 7, 2007. Son of the
late William L. Clark and Mary Clark Ryan; adored partner of the late
Eugene Kowalski; beloved extended family member of Valory and Felix
Bardinas; precious friend of Bob Schwartz, Dave Adams and many others.
A 1945 graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, Les earned an AB
in Physics and Social Relationships from Harvard (Magna Cum Laude), a
Masters in Social Psychology and Sociology from Yale (Cum Laude), and
a PhD from the New School. Retired full professor, Department of
Statistics, Baruch College, CUNY. For over 20 years Les actively
pursued important scholarly projects concerning neurological diseases
and blindness.  He authored many books and academic articles, earning
numerous honors, grants, appointments and awards. Les was a great
intellectual, trained in classical music, a lover of literature, a
fine photographer, always gentle warm and approachable. A rare man,
Les will be greatly missed.
