A Tribute To Pete Ahrens

E. H. “Pete” Ahrens, Jr., a central figure in the history of this Journal, died on December 8, 2000, after a long battle with metastatic malignancy. Pete was the most eloquent and forceful of a number of individuals who, in the late 1950s, realized that better communication was needed among investigators of lipid metabolism and lipid biochemistry, and proposed the founding of this Journal. Time easily distorts the memory of distant events; to verify Pete's role in the history of the Journal, I reviewed correspondence between us during those years.
