On Thursday, January 13, 2005, a memorial service will be held for Tom McMahon, former associate director of Wharton publications, who passed away after a short illness on November 14 at the age of 54 (Almanac November 23, 2004). The Penn community is invited to attend at 3:30 p.m. on the 8th floor of Jon M. Huntsman Hall. A reception will follow. “Tom was a valued colleague and his absence has been felt by many.
