- Abstract
"Mr Ivan Newnham, former Director of the Institnte of Energy and Earth Resources, died on 4 September. A memorial service, which many CSIRO people attended, was held on 10 September in Melbourne.
Ivan Newnham was not an ordinary man. Beyond his outstanding scientific abilities he had an energy and vision that enabled him to make a significant impact during his 37 years of service with CSIRO. A detailed account of his career with CSIRO appeared in CoResearch July 1984, before his retirement in November1984."
"Although illness marred his short retirement, Ivan continued to work, coming into his old Division regularly to be involved in some research and, latterly, mastering the intricacies of a personal computer so he could write a history of the Division. He was also able to spend much of this time with his family. Our sympathy goes to his wife, Yvonne, daughters, Merilyn and Vivienne, and his grandchildren." Jenifer North, lEER
