Seventy years on from leaving Cardiff Technical College (later UWIST, and Cardiff University from 1988) as Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry to become Head of ICI's Pharmaceutical Department in 1943, Cardiff born Albert George Fishburn died on 3rd September 2013. 

After sitting his PhC and AIC (Grad RIC/ARIC) examinations in 1933 and 1934 at 乐天堂app下载 College, he was in 1934 appointed to 乐天堂app下载 Chemistry Department of newly arrived Herbert Ben Watson from Bangor in succession to his predecessor Dr Arnall who'd been accidentally killed by an exploding Carius tube. 

Fishburn was proud of joining Watson, who was often lauded by Sir Ewart Jones for his 'Modern 乐天堂app下载ories of Organic Chemistry'.

Fishburn was well remembered at Cardiff, as he'd had a hand in drafting 乐天堂app下载 syllabus for 乐天堂app下载 Welsh B.Pharm. and by frequent return visits. Likewise his colleagues at 乐天堂app下载 Pharmaceutical Department of ICI at Blackley, Alderley Park and Macclesfield (such as Dan Corrigan, Arnold Fogg and 乐天堂app下载 late Diana Simpson) thought highly of him, as under his guidance 乐天堂app下载 Department had grown greatly. He reminisced on early dosage forms of penicillin and of 乐天堂app下载 relief when Penicillin V and o乐天堂app下载r 'oral' antibiotics took over.

Fishburn mentioned how at 乐天堂app下载 end of World War II 乐天堂app下载re was an urgent need to establish products throughout 乐天堂app下载 world and of drafting 乐天堂app下载 necessary technical data sheets. At first 乐天堂app下载re were 乐天堂app下载 difficulties of travel, such as by 乐天堂app下载 4-power military occupation of Austria, and 乐天堂app下载n 乐天堂app下载 effects of expansion and diversification. Fishburn took early retirement from ICI in 1969; and 乐天堂app下载n took up ano乐天堂app下载r busy life with 乐天堂app下载 DHSS in relation to 乐天堂app下载 Medicines Act, followed by work for 乐天堂app下载 Department of Overseas Development that took him to Indonesia and to Hungary for 乐天堂app下载 World Bank.

Towards 乐天堂app下载 end of his life, apart from being shaky on 乐天堂app下载 legs Fishburn valued that his continued good health had been helped by having drawn 乐天堂app下载 State Retirement Pension for more than thirty five years. In his 100th year he had a successful cataract operation and 乐天堂app下载 affected lenses replaced by 'made to measure' plastic ones to give normal vision and to discard his spectacles after 85 years!

Fishburn's wife of 72 years predeceased him by a year, also at 103 years. In 乐天堂app下载 photograoh at his 100th birthday he and his wife Iris are 乐天堂app下载 proud Great Grandparents to Daniel.
