In memoriam.

BRIAN O'KEEFE, the longtime tax director for the Chrysler Corp. and a World War II veteran, died of pneumonia on September 10. He was 78. Upon graduating from high school, Mr. O'Keefe joined the Army and was sent to Europe. For his heroic efforts during the war, he was awarded the Bronze Star. Returning to Michigan at war's end, Mr. O'Keefe earned his bachelor's degree in economics at the University of Detroit, and in 1952, received his law degree. He then went to work for Chrysler, where he ultimately served as assistant controller of government liaison, and handled corporate taxes. He retired in 1980.

F. BROOK VOGHT, a partner with the law firm of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan and a participant in TEI educational programs at both the Institute and chapter level, died suddenly on September 23. Mr. Voght, a well-known tax litigator who spent more than 25 years with Miller & Chevalier before joining Sutherland, was active in both the Tax Sections of both the American Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association, as well as several other organizations. Upon learning of his death, TEI Executive Director Timothy McCormally said, "Brook was what was best about this city's (and country's) top tax practitioners--knowledgeable, gracious, willing to share, with a good sense of humor, but without guile."
