In Memoriam: Viola Blommer

As we go to press, word has come of the passing of Viola Blommer, widow of Henry J. Blommer, Sr., who died on January 2 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

With her husband, Viola Blommer was a great friend of Georgetown; she supported him through the years in his many efforts to strengthen the university. The Blommer Science Library was named in honor of Henry J. Blommer, Sr., who died in July 1992.

Georgetown has become a tradition with the family of Henry and Viola Blommer. Several sons and grandsons have attended Georgetown, including grandson Peter, C'85, who is currently a member of the Library Advisory Council. We at the Library mourn the passing of Viola Blommer, and extend our sympathy to the Blommer family.
