It is with deep sadness that we report the death of one of our MABB and former Board of Directors members, Susan Eaves Bezanson, on April 3, 2008. Sue was a very respected, trusted member of the blood bank community. She was well liked and made a deep impression on those of us fortunate to have known her. Her positive attitude, dedication to quality, patient safety and other contributions to Transfusion Medicine will be greatly missed.
