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.

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.

He was born on May 27, 1947, in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Frank and Helena (Bujnicki) Bunick. He is survived by: his wife of 34 years, Dr. Elaine M. Bunick; his son, Dr. Christopher G. Bunick and wife Lilia Urquiza of Nashville, TN, and his daughter Dr. Elissa Bunick-Fleming and husband Dr. Scott D. Fleming of Birmingham, AL. He is also survived by: his brothers, Dr. Frank J. Bunick and wife Dr. Shan Shan of Randolph, NJ, and Dr. David J. Bunick and wife Carrol and their daughters Nicola and Jacquelyn of Champaign, IL. Other living family members include his Godmother, Genevieve Milos and her children, Bruce Milos and Marcia Gobiel along with her husband Paul and their son Dennis of Holyoke, MA, and his most beloved cat, ! Catlina. Gerard graduated from Newton South High School, Newton, MA in 1965, from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1969, and received his PhD in Biological Chemistry from the Univ. 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 phosphateions. 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 stu! dy 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 Ha! iti Parish Twinning Program. A Funeral Mass will be held Friday, September 21, 2007, at 3:30 pm at St. Mary's Catholic Church with the Reverend Bill McKenzie and the Reverend Michael Woods officiating.

She was preceded in death by: her beloved husband, Charles A. Jackson; son, Joe W. Jackson; sisters, Helen Greene and Hazel Burchfield. She was rapidly approaching her 101st birthday when she died. "NeeNee", as she was known to family, had seen a century of dramatic and sometimes violent change. Born on September 24, 1906, she was named in honor of the recent appearance of Haley's Comet; her parents, Charles Beshear and Brilla Brittain Burchfield, both hailed from those mountaineers forcibly removed from Cade's Cove in what today is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Her father was a coal mine manager; her sisters and she were born in small Kentucky mining camps that often no longer exist. She attended school at Cumberland College; came of age during the 1920s, when she was a flapper; and married during the Kentucky coal mine conf! licts of Harlan and Bell Counties during the Jazz Age and Depression. In the 1930s, she moved to Knoxville, TN, where her husband was the furniture manager for the downtown Sears Roebuck; in time, they would follow their son to Cocoa Beach, FL, where he worked as a NASA engineer during the Gemini and Apollo space programs. In 1998, she moved to Brighton Garden of Virginia Beach, where she was known for her humor and purple attire. She was as tough, loving and complex as the hills from which she sprang. During hunting trips, she would sit under a tree with a book and then point out to her husband all the game that he missed during his luckless rambles. She could argue for hours with her scientific son about evolution and the Bible, but it soon became obvious that this was merely an affectionate game. She taught her grandson the value of vanishing comfort foods like beets-pickled eggs and cracklin' bread at a time when anything stable was a refuge. In later years, she bounced! back from multiple assaults on her health, and was known to f! riends i n Virginia Beach as a symbol of the human will to survive. She is survived by: grandson, Joe W. Jackson, Jr., and his wife, Kathy Merlock Jackson; great grandson, Nicholas M. Jackson; nephew, Charles M. Greene; several cousins in Kentucky.

POSTOW, BETSY CAROL - (Oct. 23, 1945-June 22, 2007) Professor Betsy Postow, a member of the philosophy department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, since 1972, declined further treatment for a hepatic blood clot and died at Vanderbilt Hospital, Nashville, on June 22, 2007. She was buried on June 25 near her mother, Molly Steinman Postow, at Judean Memorial Gardens, Olney, Maryland. Reared in the Bronx and Queens, New York City, Betsy was selected to attend Hunter College High School for Girls, in Manhattan; her teachers there soon identified her talent for philosophy and encouraged her to pursue it. She did so at Harpur College, SUNY at Binghamton, where she was graduated summa cum laude in 1966. The following year she received the Tew Award for Excellence as the outstanding first year student in philosophy at Yale; she finished her Ph.D. at Yale in 1970. Although her principal academic interest was ethics, culminating in her book Reasons for Action (1999), Professo! r Postow also published and presented extensively in feminist theory and edited/contributed to a well received anthology Women, Philosophy, and Sport (1983). Several of the courses she offered were cross-listed in both the Philosophy Department and Women's Studies Program. It is typical of her spirit of collegiality that she also volunteered to serve as acting head of the philosophy department Fall 1993 and later to develop and offer courses in business ethics to meet student demand. During fall semester 2006 Professor Postow took sabbatical leave as a Visiting Scholar at the Ethics Institute of the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. She thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of living abroad and of working with her welcoming Dutch colleagues. She remastered the skill of riding bicycles, although she did wreck two during her four month stay. Beyond her professional involvement, Betsy also loved both to hear and to make music: she played flute and recorder and deeply regrett! ed that she didn't sing well enough to join a choir; she did, ! however, pass away many miles of many car trips by belting out all stanzas, common or obscure, of many, many hymns. She also delighted in moving to music and regularly participated in Sacred Circle Dancing and for years was exemplarily faithful to her gym workout routines. And she made excellent use of her time commuting to and from work by listening to Books on Tape. But it was the pursuit of spiritual growth that became Betsy's passion. She approached it as she did all other things: she unremittingly studied, challenged, resolved, and practiced--and she grew. "Compassion" became her watchword. She delighted in meditation and used it to bring her thought and actions into line with her goals and her goals into line with the direction of her growth. Betsy was unique in her capacity for dedication, doggedness, loyalty, fairness, intensity, justice, and joy. She could be both serious and silly, but she was utterly unable to dissemble. Betsy is survived by her companion of twenty-seven ! years, Dianne Meagher, Knoxville; her father and hero, Maxwell Postow, Rockville, Maryland; her brother, Elliot Postow, Potomac, Maryland; her former sister-in-law, Joan Postow, Gaithersburg, Maryland; her nephew, Brian Postow and her niece, Lisa Postow; and her especially dear friend, Lorraine Hart, Knoxville. Betsy was formerly married to Robert Latta, now of Kyoto, Japan. Other survivors are faculty, staff, and graduate students of the UTK philosophy department; members of the beloved reading group that she founded; and her neighbors and her many friends. Plan to join a celebration of Betsy's life at a memorial service at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, 2931 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, from 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, September 15, 2007. The Philosophy Department at UTK has established the Betsy Postow Memorial Fund, which will use contributions to fund scholarships and fellowships for philosophy students. Her colleague Professor Richard Aquila has writte! n an especially moving personal and professional tribute to Be! tsy, whi ch can be found at http://web.utk.edu/%7ephilosop/postowmem.html ROBERTS, MARK ANTHONY - age 51 of Knoxville was born June 16, 1956 and went to be with the Lord on September 9, 2007.

Sorry I forgot Donna I should fix the death date for CORA LEE OWENS....I don't really know it but she was born in 1878 and was in the 1880 census so I know she didn't die shortly after her birth. All of the OWENS had descendants that lived in Morgan Co. Don't want to upset anyone.
