  A great astronomer, George Herbig, passed away in Honolulu on October 12,
2013, at the age of 93. His life and career were long and productive, and
consistently dedicated to the careful, thorough research that earned him his
reputation. Herbig spent most of his career at Lick Observatory, first as a
graduate student, and then from 1949 to 1987 as a staff member, rising through
the ranks to Astronomer and becoming Professor as well when the observatory
moved to the University of California at Santa Cruz in the late 1960s. Herbig
retired from UCSC in 1987 and spent the remainder of his life in Honolulu at
the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawai`i.
