To Family and Friends of Niels Peter Thorshaug,
On April 19, 2002, upon my retirement from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Niels sent me a most gracious and
generous message regarding our work together. The
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Norsk Hydro enjoyed a
strong working relationship in those days and I, as the MIT
Corporate Liaison Officer, had the great privilege of working
closely with Niels Peter, and with Ms. Ragnhild Sohlberg, of
Norsk Hydro. The three of us were a good team, and MIT
recognized us for managing one of MITs strongest Corporate-MIT
Relationships. Niels thoroughly enjoyed this work, and when he
visited the USA with his wife years later, we recalled many happy
memories, as we enjoyed a dinner at his favorite Boston
Restaurant, Pier Four, on the waterfront. His honest, intelligent,
generous, gentle, and considerate manner, each as strong as he was
tall, will always remain as cherished memories of my Dear Friend,
Niels Peter Thorshaug. In like manner he would pass along news
of his family, always with loving care and respect. Our world is
diminished by the loss of a man of such integrity.
Robert L. Malster, MIT (Retired)
