Ed Vallario

[Les Slaback <lester.slaback@nist.gov>]

As you can see, I sinned.  Started the following message with 'from' which
sent it into the ether, even when it was the second line! 
.............*From the Washington Post, 2/10/99  (slightly abbreviated in
spots)....
Edward Vallario, 71, retired DoE HP died of multiple myeloma on 30 Jan.  He
had been the DoE Radiological Controls Division director and chief of the
Health Physics Branch.  After retirement he formed and ran Applied Safety
Technology, an HP consulting firm, until the mid-90's.

Before his Washington DoE activities he was an HP in Connecticut and an HP
supervisor at the SL-1 reactor.  "In 1961, the reactor malfunctioned.
Following an explosion, Mr. Vallario entered the reactor room and rescued
injured personnel.  For those actions, he was presented with a Carnegie
Medal for Heroism and an AEC heroism award."

He is survived by his wife, Bette J., two sons, Robert  and Lawrence; a
brother, four sisters; and eight grandchildren.
