Known fondly by many as Chuck, he was a dissertation advisor to two of us, and a mentor, colleague, and dear friend to all three of us. Chuck received his doctorate in civil engineering from Cornell University in 1967. He served as an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Systems Engineering at Cornell University before joining the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering (DOGEE) at The Johns Hopkins University in 1971. He was promoted to full professor in 1975, and spent the remainder of his career there. He was a groundbreaking scholar and beloved teacher. His research contributions are extraordinary in terms of quantity, quality, diversity, and impact. Most likely no one other than his wife, Penelope (Penny to a generation of DOGEE students), is familiar with the entire breadth of his contributions. In his last updated curricula vita (February, 2004), he listed 196 journal and proceedings articles (at least 16 have been published since then) in six categories: Location and Transportation Network Analysis (106 articles), nature reserve design and forestry management science (21), water resources (28), population, epidemic, and grain models (7), arms control (4), and miscellaneous (7). These articles appear in over 80 outlets. On October 15, 2008, the ISI Web of KnowledgeSM listed 128 of these articles. The journals in which these 128 articles appear are listed in Table 1. Table 1.

His articles have been extensively cited over the years. On October 15, 2008, the ISI Web of KnowledgeSM listed 2243 citations for the 128 of his articles that it tracks. In addition, he received numerous awards for his research. These include: selected (with Richard Francis) the first recipient of the "Lifetime Achievement in Location Analysis" award presented by the Section on Location Analysis, Institute for Operations Research and Management Science in 1996; the "Agamemnon Award" for contributions to the fields of environmental management and public decision making, awarded by the Constantine Porphyrogenetus Society, Chios, Greece in 1995; the "Mary Shephard B. Upson Visiting Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Visiting Professor of City Planning and Regional Science" at Cornell University's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (2001–2002); and The North American Regional Science Council's "Walter Isard Award for Scholarly Achievement" in 2006. In addition, he received the "David Boyce Award for Service to Regional Science" from the North American Regional Science Council in 1998. Chuck also authored several books. These include: Civil and Environmental Systems Engineering (ReVelle, Whitlach, and Wright 2004), Optimizing Reservoir Resources: Including a New Model of Reservoir Reliability (ReVelle 1999), Design and Operation of Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems (ReVelle and McGarity 1997), The Global Environment: Securing a Sustainable Future (ReVelle and ReVelle 1992), The Environment: Issues and Choices for Society (ReVelle and ReVelle 1988), and Sourcebook on the Environment (ReVelle and ReVelle 1974). The topics of these books demonstrate that Chuck's dedication to the environment continued throughout his career. They also demonstrate the important role that Penny played in his scholarly life. Chuck loved to work with others. He listed over 100 coauthors in his 2004 curricula vita. Those with more than five coauthorships from that list are Jared Cohon (30 articles), Justin Williams (19), Kenneth Rosing (13), Vladimir Marianov (12), John Current (11), David Schilling (11), Daniel Serra (10), Richard Church (9), Stephanie Snyder (8), Jack Elzinga (7), and Kathleen Hogan (6). He especially liked to work with his students. With the exceptions of Jared Cohon, Jack Elzinga and Kenneth Rosing, the above list consists of his former Ph.D. students. To the best of our knowledge, he advised 33 Ph.D. students. In addition to those previously mentioned, they are Mansur Arbabi, Vicki Aaronson-Hutson, Charles Branas, David Eaton, Thomas Eagles, Arthur McGarity, James George, Jose Gundelach, Joseph Harkness, John M. Hearn, Miriam Heller, Ron Klimberg, Peter Kroll, Michelle Mizumori, George Moore, Richard Palmer, Samuel Ratick, Peter Rojeski, Jhih-Shyang Shih, Donald Shobrys, Ralph Swain, Constantine Toregas, Earl Whitlatch, Jeffrey Wright, and Zongping Zhu. These students, and their students and associates, will ensure that his influence will continue. Chuck was a prestigious scholar, dedicated mentor, and trusted friend. We have been blessed to have known and worked with him. We are particularly proud that we always will be associated with him via this special issue and our coauthored articles (Church and ReVelle 1974, 1976, 1978; Church, ReVelle, and Schilling 1975; ReVelle and Church 1977; ReVelle et al. 1977; Church, Cohon, and ReVelle 1978; Schilling et al. 1979; Cohon et al. 1980; Current, Cohon, and ReVelle 1984; Current, ReVelle, and Cohon 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990; Daskin, Hogan, and ReVelle 1988; Current, Ratick, and ReVelle 1998; Rosing et al. 1998; George, ReVelle, and Current 2002; ReVelle, Eiselt, and Daskin 2008). This special issue appearing in Geographical Analysis is particularly fitting. Before this issue, Chuck published nine articles in Geographical Analysis (Rojeski and ReVelle 1970; ReVelle and Swain 1970; Toregas and ReVelle 1973; Church, ReVelle, and Schilling 1975; Church and ReVelle 1976; ReVelle, Toregas, and Falkson 1976; Bigman and ReVelle 1978, 1979; Serra and ReVelle 1999). ReVelle and Swain (1970) is his most cited work, and is the third most cited article in the history of Geographical Analysis. The six articles in this special issue consider environmental issues, emergency services, reserve site selection, multiple objectives, p-median problems, and maximal covering problems. We are certain that Chuck would be pleased as he made major contributions in each of these areas. This issue also includes his 10th article in Geographical Analysis (Hamaide, Williams and ReVelle.) Chuck is survived by his wife, Penelope, his daughters, Cynthia and Elizabeth, his brothers, Jack and Douglas, and many friends. His love of life, scholarship, and the environment was nurtured by his family. We all are better for having known him. He was a groundbreaking scholar and beloved teacher, with a sense of humor that always brightened the day. We only wish that we could end this tribute with a pun that would make him groan.
