502 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS Albert Montgomery Kligman, M.D., Ph.D. A EULOGY BY WALTER B. SHELLEY, M.D.* This is Albert Kliõman day! We are all here to salute him, and it is my delight and joy to fire the first twenty-one guns. (Your thou- sand guns will follow.) Albert is wonderful--a eulogist's delight. For those few of you who don't know him, I would like to paint his portrait.

Indeed, he remains an international authority on the care and feeding of mushrooms, having authored the only definitive monograph in this area. Although his vocations are a tour de force, it is his avocations which leave one breathless. And I speak literally. For here is a man Kennedy would embrace with vigor. His early years in college found him captain of the Penn State gymnast team. Figure skating, ballet dancing, golfing, and skiing followed. Each was studied and performed with an in- tensity unmatched by others. Having mastered the land, he took to the water in a retrograde evolutionary manner, and we find him racing sails above and aqua-lunõing below. As the year of affluence appeared, we saw Albert soar into the skies to acquire successively expertise in gliding, parachuting, flying his own plane, and more recently, balloon- * University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.
