Another Member Loss: Chandler van Orman
Author Last Post

Good morning all,


I am sadly sharing another announcement on the passing of member Chandler van Orman on May 10, 2021. I recall seeing Chandler, but did not know him personally... However, I do know that at age 66, he had laid down a 4513 position in the 10K for the 2007 Concept Logbook. Talk about a person who ventured into so many sports too: surfing in La Jolla, high school and 1959 UNC college football, founder and hall of famer of UVA's rugby team all along with rowing!


Career-wise, Chandler had such an amazing resume with law, federal policy, and balancing the need for nuclear energy to combat air pollution through reduction of fossil fuels. His obituary lists what I assume are only a few experiences of what he was involved with.


Thank you to Pam Roberts and Susie Spaulding for sharing this very sad piece of news. PBC is made up of such amazing people and we are so fortunate to have this community of members.


In good thoughts and health,

Lena
