Dear Members of the International Society for Underground Freight Transportation,

 

We are so sorry to have to announce that Dr. Henry Liu, president of ISUFT died December 1st 2009.

 

Dr. Liu began teaching in the civil engineering department at MU in 1965 at age 29. He started as an assistant professor, eventually became a chaired professor and finally director of Capsule Pipeline Research Center. He then took an early retirement in 2001 to create the Freight Pipeline Co., a research and development firm in Columbia.

 

Dr. Liu was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He most recently helped organize the International Society for Underground Freight Transportation and was the organization's president.

 

A memorial service was held Dec. 19, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia, Columbia (Missouri, USA).
