 In Memoriam

Mueller
Courageous Fight Ends
For Sonia Mueller

On November 6, 1998, Currents editor Monica Friedlander chronicled the courageous battle of a young Lab employee named Sonia Mueller and her efforts to overcome the cruel realities of breast cancer, which she contracted two years earlier at age 28. She won that battle, but yesterday, she lost the war. Mueller, who many had come to know through her staff work in the Directorate – including division meeting coordination and Open House support – died at her home in El Cerrito. She was 35. Services are pending. The ’98 article, entitled “Too Young for Cancer: Fighting Back,” can be read here.

Telephone Maintenance
Set for Next Tuesday

The Telephone Service staff will perform maintenance on the laboratory phone system next Tuesday between 7 and 10 p.m. Calls in process will not be affected during this time. However, there will be intermittent loss of dial tone up to 1 minute in duration, and telephone display panels will shut off. The displays will automatically be corrected as the dial tone returns.
