Professor Emeritus Noel de Nevers, who died Jan 4, 2019 at his home in Salt Lake City, was a respected teacher and good friend to the ARCS Community. His wife, Klancy, is a founding member of the ARCS Foundation Utah Chapter and Noel was the personal friend of many ARCS members. His accomplishments were many and are outlined in detail on the memorial page at the University of Utah. He was the author of several popular text books as well as many articles in the field of chemical engineering, was a Fullbright Scholar and ably represented the Department of Chemical Engineering and the University of Utah on a wide variety of committees. But to Noel's friends he was an outdoorsman and leader and spent many wonderful days in Utah's parks and other wild places. He was thrilled to have named Private Arch in Arches National Park after being the first to officially report it to the U.S. Geologic Survey.
