Guy W. Moore, 93, retired News Branch Chief in the office of the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH) died on November 13, 2015 of ripe old age.
Mr. Moore was born in Retta, OK on June 19, 1922. He graduated from Northern Oklahoma Junior College in 1942 and subsequently earned both his BA (1950) and his MA (1952) from the University of Oklahoma.
His MA in history, slightly recast, was published by the University of Oklahoma Press in 1954 as "The Case of Mrs. Surratt."

He is survived by two daughters and five grandchildren. Funeral services will be private. Murphy Funeral Home in Arlington, VA is serving the family.
