>From The Oak Ridger 2 Oct 2007 Eleanor Ruth Isaacs Helton, age 67, Thomas Robert Noonan, 95, of Oak Ridge, David Robert Pritz, age 60, an Oak Ridge Greta Louise Tharp, age 79, of Clinton, James R. Watson, 92, of Oak Ridge, Eleanor Ruth Isaacs Helton, age 67, passed away at her home, surrounded by family, on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2007, following a courageous four-year battle with cancer. She was born Oct. 3, 1939, at Oak Hill in Somerset, Ky., in the place she would always love best - at home on the farm of her maternal grandparents, C. E. and Annie Laura Avera. She was the youngest of four children born to Ruth and Hugh Isaacs. The farm, with its bounty of space and security, was essential in shaping Eleanor's life and character. It provided her with the space to roam, explore, read and ponder that would remain her style for the rest of her days. In 1944, her father's job with the Southern Railroad brought her family to Oakdale, Tenn., where she spent her elementary school years. In 1953, Eleanor's family moved to Somerset, Ky., in order for her to attend Somerset High School in preparation for college. She was a gifted student with a love of learning and she received many academic awards during high school. She entered Berea College in the fall of 1957 and graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1961. Eleanor taught third grade in Glen Bernie, Md., before marrying her high school sweetheart, Jim Helton, on Dec. 23, 1962. They briefly lived in Lexington, Ky., and then in Arizona where they both taught on the Navajo Indian Reservation. In 1963, they moved to Rome, Ga., where Eleanor taught until starting her family. She gave birth to the couple's three daughters over the next four years. In 1969, Jim's new job brought them to Oak Ridge, a place she dearly loved. Eleanor's chosen profession was that of devoted mother, loving wife, and later, doting Nana to her seven grandchildren. She was active in the Oak Ridge community, volunteering for many organizations including: the Oak Ridge schools; Tri-County Literacy; Recording for the Blind; ADFAC; and the Oak Ridge Boys Group Home. She served as a Stephen Minister through Kern Memorial United Methodist Church, where she was a member for 25 years, and served as secretary of the administrative board for six years. A self-described individualist and non-conformist, Eleanor was a lifelong Democrat with a passion for reading, music in its infinite variety, and listening to other people's stories. She enjoyed words, her water exercise class, playing games, antiquing, traveling, and spending time with her family. Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents, Hugh and Ruth Isaacs, formerly of Somerset, Ky.; and a brother, David Isaacs, also of Somerset. Eleanor is survived by her husband, Jim, of Oak Ridge; daughters, Sinden Cotter, and husband, Tim, of Tullahoma, Tenn.; Tasha Endsley and husband, Dan, of Oak Ridge; and Amy Bzorgi, and husband, Fariborz, of Knoxville; brother, Joe Isaacs, and wife, Roberta, of Somerset, Ky.; sister, Barbara Meece and husband, Leo, of Dayton, Ohio; sister-in-law, Phyllis Isaacs of Somerset, Ky.; brother-in-law, Dr. Walter "Pete" Helton of Cookeville, Tenn.; sister-in-law, Judy Gholson of Cincinnati, Ohio; sister-in-law, Jean Helton of Danville, Ky.; and seven dearly beloved grandchildren: Carson and Emma Cotter of Tullahoma, Tenn.; Granger and Meg Endsley of Oak Ridge; and Devon, McKenna and Bronson Bzorgi of Knoxville. She is also survived by 19 nieces and nephews. Eleanor leaves behind a host of special friends who meant the world to her. A service of remembrance is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007, at 2 p.m., at Kern Memorial United Methodist Church in Oak Ridge, 451 East Tennessee Ave. The receiving of friends and a celebration of Eleanor's life will immediately follow in Kern's Family Life Center.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations be made to ADFAC, 1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN 37830; or to the Southern Poverty Law Center, 400 Washington Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36104; or to a charity of the donor's choice.

Gerard graduated from Newton South High School, Newton, Mass., in 1965, from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1969, and received his Ph.D. in biological chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1976, where he was the first graduate student of Dr. Donald Voet. There he determined the molecular structures of some analogues of components of DNA such as 9-[beta]-D-arabinofuranosyladenine and 9-[3-(3-indolyl)-propyl]adenine, the latter a model for protein-nucleic acid interactions. He also worked on the structure of inorganic pyrophosphatase, an enzyme that converts pyrophosphate, the product of reactions involving ATP, into two phosphate ions. Gerard took a position in the Chemistry Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1977 and between 1982 and 1990 worked in the Solid State Division there. Recently he moved his laboratory to the University of Tennessee. He has been recognized and lauded for his work nationally and internationally. His main area of study has been molecular structure by diffraction methods using X rays or neutrons with crystalline specimens. He has outstanding publications using both types of radiation. Gerard worked with his colleagues on the structure of the nucleosome core particle. The structure consists of about 146 base pairs of superhelical double-stranded DNA wrapped around an octomer of histones. Gerard's work helped establish how the packaging of DNAs and proteins occurs. Gerard also pioneered the use of crystal annealing, a method that improved the diffraction ability of some protein crystals. In order to improve crystal diffraction he also grew many protein crystals in space, using both the NASA space shuttles and the International and Mir Space Stations. He enjoyed mentoring students from high school to post doctoral fellows. He wrote chapters for many of the chemistry and crystallography textbooks. He loved music and played the clarinet in both the high school and UMass marching bands. He was also an active member of St. Mary's Catholic Church supporting the Haiti Parish Twinning Program.
