(2005) R.L. Jantz and S.D. Ousley
We are sad to share the news that Dr. Steve Ousley passed away on November 6, 2022. Dr. Ousley was an important FAC colleague and integral to the daily operations of Fordisc. Dr. Ousley’s passing has required some reorganization, which, thanks to Dr. Joe Hefner has been accomplished and all versions of Fordisc 3 are now available on our web site. If you have questions, please contact Dr. Joe Hefner (hefnerj1@msu.edu) or Dr. Richard Jantz (rjantz@utk.edu).
