Sorry, the sentence I quoted about Roger Fourme is on page 325 in "Science is
not a Quiet Life" by Max Perutz (not 375).

Subject: [ccp4bb] Very sad new
I learnt today that Roger Fourme passed away on December 24.
He was "Professeur Emérite" at Paris-Sud University and former "Directeur
Scientifique" of the SOLEIL synchrotron.
Along with Richard Kahn (also deceased recently), he has been deeply involved
in the development of the MAD technique.
Until his sudden death, he remained very active in the field of high-pressure
crystallography.
I think I may say he was highly appreciated in our whole community after tens
of years of commitment in macromolecular crystallography and in Science.
His funeral will take place at Palaiseau cemetery (near Paris) on January, 2nd
at 11:45.
