Forwarded by Phillip A Salopek/POP/HQ/BOC on 09/03/2002 02:12 PM It is with deep sorrow that I inform you of the untimely death of Dr. Charles (Chip) Alexander, Jr. Chip drowned at Virginia Beach while swimming with his daughter over the Labor Day weekend. Chip was an Assistant Division Chief in the Demographic Statistical Methods Division since 1993. Chip is best known for his leadership in pioneering the development of the American Community Survey. Chip is survived by his wife, Diane (DSD), his daughter, Emily and his son, David. This is a terrible shock and a tremendous loss to the Census Bureau. We will miss Dr. Alexander's keen intelligence, his gentle spirit, and above all, his fine character. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but we will keep you informed. ---------------------------------------- Ed Christopher Metropolitan Activities Midwest Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-283-3501 (F)
