He graduated in chemistry from the University of Chicago with a bachelor's degree in 1940 and a Ph.D. in 1946. He joined Argonne National Laboratory in 1950 and worked there for forty years as a senior chemist. He was one of five winners of the 1961 Ernest O. Lawrence Award; his award in the Life Sciences division was for "his development of tritium labeling of biologically important compounds, which have permitted major advances in biology and medicine." Wilzbach and his wife Eileen (née Marcin) had a 41-year marriage. She was born in 1924 and died in 1987. Upon his death he was survived by four sons, a daughter, nine grandchildren, and three gr ...

Bayside, California
Bayside is an unincorporated community south-southeast of Arcata, at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m) in Humboldt County, California. The ZIP Code is 95524, the area code is 707. The relatively large area was originally covered by large, ancient Coast Redwood trees down to what was the edge of a significantly larger Humboldt Bay at high tide. Later, the mammoth redwoods (especially those near the Jacoby Creek) made it the natural placement of some of the area's earliest redwood lumber operations. A rock quarry was located in the area's hills, which form the beginning of the Coast Ranges, the source of water for an early public water system for the City of Arcata. Today, Bayside provides Arcata a buffer from Eureka's northward expansion along US Route 101 and the area, with the exception of some business and public buildings, is largely rural, with homes and small ranches dotting the landscape. Second growth forests exist mostly apart from cleared lands, which show some evidence ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
