Talking with Karl

Contribution from Jerry Workman

   In talking with Karl, I recall that he was always interested in interactively discussing any problem or issue associated with NIR. He really came alive when any problem or challenge was presented - either one-on-one, or a small group, or an auditorium full of scientists - when a problem was introduced, Karl was all in! And he usually had experienced something similar or would propose a solution that was scientifically sound and would eventually turn out to be the answer.

He always was enthusiastic, friendly, and exhibited a kind smile no matter when and where you ran into him.

When they say the phrase, "A scholar and gentleman," that characterizes Karl magnificently! He will be greatly missed.
