Dr. Jeanne Calle

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

It is with great sadness that I wanted to comment on the death of Jeanne Calle, a prominent cancer researcher who lived here in Atlanta. She worked at the American Cancer Society for years and was murdered in her home by a 22-year old man posing as a buyer of her condo earlier this week.

Dr. Calle, who was only 57 years old, was gracious enough to come and talk to the S.E. AMWA chapter about her work. I also had the chance to interview her a couple of times, and she stood out because she was so articulate, friendly, and helpful.

It is a tragic loss.
