Nancy Lindblad called my parents this morning to let them know that former Dana Science Professor Gene Lindblad passed away early this morning. He had been in poor health for some time. He was the first science teacher that I ever had that actually helped me understand chemistry. I received a 9 in his class because of his teaching expertise. Yet another great Dana professor who will be remembered and missed by his family, friends, and the many students he enlightened.--Diane Madsen, FB
Oh no! Dr. Lindblad was a wonderful person and a Dana icon. What a shame.--Robert Coffey, FB
I remember Dr. Lindblad talking about his days of doing "bucket chemistry" in his days at Union Carbide. I never really knew what he meant until my first job out of college where I had a 55 gallon drum of H2 SO4 and was using an electric barrel pump to pump it into a pit containing a washing solution from the plant to neutralize it so we could send it to discharge....
He was a very kind a patient teacher with a wit as dry as the Sahara....Mark Weber, FB
I wasn't in the sciences but I did take the physical science course required of non-science people. My memory is of a kind and gentle person.--Kay Braaten Bresemann, FB
One of the professors I thought of when they mentioned the "Dana Difference --Al Schutt, FB
Gene Lindblad was a kind and generous man, a wonderful Dana professor. His recall of names when he saw you 50 years later was amazing. We enjoyed seeing him every year at the Danish American Archive and Library Annual meeting. Love to his family.--Alice Neve, FB
Gene was my advisor at Dana where I graduated with a Chemistry major in 1966 and I very much valued his role in my life. I ended up with PhD from UNL Chemistry Dept., taught at Midland College and finished career in R&D with Phillips Petroleum. My thoughts and prayers are with you. --Don Bruning, Campbell-Aman tribute
