Ed McGaffigan
It is with great sadness that I post the following obituary from this weekend - Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner Edward McGaffigan Jr.. I worked with Ed during the competitiveness debates of the 1980's when we were both on the staff of Senator Jeff Bingaman. That including working together on the creation of Sematech and watching Ed steer a successful course for the creation of many DoD technology programs while I looked after the civilian side. While much has been said about Ed's work in the NRC, his time on Senate staff was extremely productive and of great benefit to the nation, even while he was living out is own personal tragedy of his wife’s illness. He was an exemplary public servant - as an earlier story from last year about his staying on illustrates - A Public Servant to the Last. He will be missed.
