Abstract
Ed Schreiber’s life was taken suddenly and tragically on the morning of November 11, 1991 as he was driving to work on the Bronx River Parkway. He was on his way to Queens College, an institution with which he had had a long and valuable association. Ed was born in Brooklyn in 1930. He attended the New York State College of Ceramic Engineering at Alfred University where he received his B.S. degree Magna Cum Laude in 1956 and his Ph.D. degree in 1963. As a graduate student, Ed was inspired by both Taro Takahashi and Orson Anderson.
