He is just about the smartest guy I have ever met \u2013 and not just on his thesis topic either (computational quantum chemistry), but on many, many subjects useful to a lithographer, chemist, or scientist in general.  I have learned a tremendous amount from Jeff, and it seems I learn something more every time we talk.  For example, last year Jeff taught me how to brew beer.  I had brewed a few times before that, but had no idea what I was doing.  Jeff is a master brewer, and his advise and hints instantly shot my brewing results up to a new level.  Jeff, with his wife Carita, built the house that they live in almost entire by themselves (in Blue, Texas), and the place is beautiful.  Jeff is also just a plain, old, ordinary good man.  A man whose instincts and actions on social justice have inspired me, whose kindness to those around him has awed me, and whose friendship has improved me.<\/p>\n<p>Last night Jeff Byers was in a car accident.  He is in a coma.  That is just about all I know at the moment.  Except I know, as much as I know anything else, that I want him to get better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If memory serves me right, I\u2019ve know Jeff now for about 15 years.
