The First Armed Forces Medical Examiner dies

The AFIP Director sent out this note today:

It is with great regret that I inform you of the passing of the First, Armed Forces Medical Examiner, Dr. Richard Froede. He was also a key player in the formation of the DNA Laboratory and DNA Repository. Dr. Froede also served terms as a member of the AFIP Scientific Advisory Board, and the ARP Executive Board. He succumbed after a lengthy illness, on February 9, 2011 in Arizona. His devotion to the AFIP will be missed. He will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery on March 24, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.
