==Milt==
Milt was a great contributor to our project who invested a lot of his own knowledge and time in it; Citizendium is much poorer without him. He was highly trusted and respected, previously serving as the project's Treasurer and on the elected Management and Editorial Councils. However, we were a small part of a long life: Milt completed his degree in 1944, but his graduation was delayed while he saw action in Europe during the Second World War. Decades of experience in both chemical and environmental engineering followed, and he would become a well-published authority on various aspects of these fields, as recognized by his Fellowship of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. His daughter also tells me he liked to apply his engineering approach to everyday life by collecting recipes and carefully replicating dishes he'd enjoyed. Milt stood firm against pseudoscience and other nonsense, as we at Citizendium can attest, and was a strong proponent of the science and the facts. I am sure I speak for those who knew him here when I say that we will miss him. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 12:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Second, you might be amused at how convenient [[Ideal Gas Law]] has been at the moment. It's something that I hadn't used recently enough to remember that I knew it. I have a friend who has asked me to rig a carbon dioxide generator for a closed hydroponic greenhouse, and, for weird logistical reasons, can't use either a carbon dioxide cylinder or a propane-driven generator. So, I'm looking at a possible Rube Goldberg contraption derived from a hot chocolate dispenser, which meters calcium carbonate powder into acid. I can do the stoichiometry to know how many moles I get, but now I have to figure out how to convert moles generated into ppm in a specific volume at constant temperature. People are looking at me strangely as I walk around muttering pV  = nRT. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 18:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I am waiting until tomorrow (Jan. 14) and then I will change my Approval Nomination version of the article to the latest version of the article ... and ask both you and Daniel to add your names to mine as nominators on the Metadata page.

Milt

Milt was a great contributor to our project who invested a lot of his own knowledge and time in it; Citizendium is much poorer without him. He was highly trusted and respected, previously serving as the project's Treasurer and on the elected Management and Editorial Councils. However, we were a small part of a long life: Milt completed his degree in 1944, but his graduation was delayed while he saw action in Europe during the Second World War. Decades of experience in both chemical and environmental engineering followed, and he would become a well-published authority on various aspects of these fields, as recognized by his Fellowship of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. His daughter also tells me he liked to apply his engineering approach to everyday life by collecting recipes and carefully replicating dishes he'd enjoyed. Milt stood firm against pseudoscience and other nonsense, as we at Citizendium can attest, and was a strong proponent of the science and the facts. I am sure I speak for those who knew him here when I say that we will miss him. John Stephenson (talk) 12:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Milt's productivity as chemical engineer

Let us temper our sadness in the passing of our esteemed colleague with a celebration of his achievements in his field of endeavor. Google Scholar has tabulated 111 articles he published between 1951 and 2005, with links to them and to all the articles that cited them.
