This is an odd way to try and find some information. My name is Gregg Porter. I was born on August 27, 1953. My natural mother was Jean Evelyn Pettyjohn, which is I believe Wayne's sister. I am just trying to find out history about Jean, and hope someone will read this and point me in the right direction. I have been searching for her for quite a long time. I understand she has passed, so any information would be appreciated greatly.

This photo of Professor Pettyjohn was taken while he was at Ohio State's geology field camp in the late 1960s. It is a screen grab from a slide show that was presented this summer in Ephraim, Utah at a reunion of students held this past summer.

I just learned today that Dr. Pettyjohn has passed. If it not for him, I probably would never have been successful as a groundwater geologist. He let me work for his hydrogeology lab at Ohio State University for several years, starting as a freshman. He was a proud Marine, too! I once asked him if he ever got excited since he was always so under control. He said the last time I got excited was years ago when I passed the bar exam! One of his many, many accomplishments. Condolences to his family. I know all of us from Ohio State will miss him!

I am a former OSU grad-student of Dr. Pettyjohn and it was June 12 before I learned he had passed. I greatly admired Dr. Pettyjohn and his commitment to the profession of geology. He helped me, and many others, to learn groundwater geology in a comprehensive way. He advanced the profession on an unusually large scale. Thanks Wayne. Rest in peace, and many blessings on your family.

To the family of Dr. Wayne Pettyjohn, I happened to search the web for Dr. Pettyjohn and sadly found out that he died this past May. I wish to extend my condolences to the Pettyjohn family. Dr. Pettyjohn was instrumental in my college major while he was at Ohio State. I always remember our time together because of Dr. Petthyjohn's directness but his fairness. He was most instrumental in guiding me as both a professor and someone who was well-rounded in his approach to life. Most folks who came to know Dr. Pettyjohn learned early he had a sarcastic wit and if you were overly sensitive, he could shock you a bit. After all the years since I was at Ohio State as a geology student (late 1960s to early 1970's ) I would always wonder what Dr. .Pettyjohn was doing. He surely was a most remarkable person who truly enriched my life.

Condolence From David C. Hague, BGen, USMC (Ret.)
