Charles Bruce Archambeau

On the wings of your soul you soar to a new, grand adventure;

leaving this place and your loved ones

Your legacy will continue;

your memory in the hearts of family, colleagues and friends;

an ex-wife, 2 daughters, eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren carry you within;

you helped us all in so many ways, easing our path in life, being the foundation, the rock on which to stand

Many others you touched, impacted and helped;

colleagues, friends, strangers, society;

always giving and helping when called upon;

a flame of idea and hope in a sometimes dark world

Thank you for walking this journey with us for these many years;

fantastical, grand adventures await;

seize the moment, no limitations, soar to new heights

Embrace those who have gone before, long line of ancestors, friends and associates;

say "hello" to them for us who are still here;

we send our love

Undying love to you, my gracious father;

you will always be a big part of my life;

peace and comfort;

we will see each other again, time, space and dimension bind us;

intertwined in the mysterious web of being

A toast to you and your grand adventure;

may love, laughter and wine always flow to you

Hello NYTimes,

I am writing to say that a significant person from the science communicty just died. His name is Charles Archambeau. The NY Times has covered him multiple times, including in these articles:

https://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/20/opinion/foreign-affairs-a-hidden-nuclear-quarrel.html?searchResultPosition=1

https://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/05/world/american-scientists-in-soviet-getting-ready-to-monitor-atom-tests.html?searchResultPosition=4

https://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/04/us/earthquake-raises-concern-about-nuclear-waste-dump.html?searchResultPosition=3

In a nutshell, Dr. Archambeau's public contributions have been in world safety. He was the person that figured out that it was possible to distinguish earthquakes from underground nuclear testing - something that wasn't thought possible. Without this contribution, it would have been impossible to have the SALT treaties that were part of the cold war's backing away from certain destruction.

In the 90's and 00's, he is partly responsible for a sober look at nuclear waste storage in places like Yucca Mountain - and the incredible risk that storage there presents.

There is much more to Dr. Archambeau. He was a man who lived larger than life. A geophysicist and many respects a real-life Indiana Jones with his attitude toward authority and making the changes that were necessary. He also wore a fedora all his life.

I hope the NYTimes will cover his death. His life is a reminder that order can be pulled from chaos through the efforts of extraordinary individuals.

Thank you,

Rudy Moore
