Joel and I were in the 8th grade together. He was probably the smartest kid I ever met. For our science project we made a hydrogen reactor. I have fond memories of him. Condolences to his family.
JOEL FEIGENBAUM died of cancer on April 16, 2003, in Falmouth, Massachusetts. He was a mathematics professor at Cape Cod Community College. After his house in Sandwich was threatened by a fire at the nearby Massachusetts Military Reservation, in 1982, he became curious about the goings-on at the base; he researched public-health records to create a database that demonstrated elevated cancer rates in the area and embarked on a 20-year campaign to prod the federal government to close down the artillery range and clean up the site. The reservation was declared a Superfund site in 1989; the massive cleanup, begun in 1997, may cost as much as one billion dollars. He leaves a daughter, Rachel, his mother, Rae, and his companion, Mary Ann Mathews.
