Apkarian, an honorary uncle, immediately started pes- tering her for updates on the newborn. Three months later, Wright received the news of Apkarian’s death in a motor- cycle accident, at age 52. One of Apkarian’s goals was to develop a University- wide Electron Microscopy Core housed within the facility he designed at Cherry Logan Emerson Hall. After his death, many people throughout the University worked to see that dream through, and they have honored Apkarian’s memory by giving the newly combined facil- ity his name.
