6 G. William Morgan Trust Fund When G. William Morgan died in 1984, he bequeathed a substantial fund to the Health Physics Society. The will requires that the fund's interest be used to have internationally known experts present papers at the Society's meet­ ings. Michael C. O'Riordan of the United Kingdom's National Radiation Protection Board was the first inter­ national expert to be supported by the Society through the Morgan Fund. O'Riordan's presentation "Radon in Albion" was part of the Indoor Radon Session at the 1989 Albuquerque meet­ mg. G. William Morgan was a Char­ ter member of the Society and during the Society's early years a very active member. Bill began his health physics career at Oak Ridge National Labora­ tory as part of the Manhattan Project. He later joined the Atomic Energy Commission and was instrumental in the development of the initial regula­ tions that became part of 10CFR20. He was a great champion of educa­ tion and helped establish the AEC Health Physics Fellowship Program. Bill later became very successful in the real estate business, but always re­ tained his interest in the health physics profession. The Society's Presidents Emeritus Committee has responsibil­ ity for the selection of the international experts who will be supported by the G. William Morgan Trust Fund.
