SAULTERS JAMES "JIM" CLIFTON P...
SAULTERS JAMES "JIM" CLIFTON Passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, age 65, of McCandless Twp. Jim was a gentle, funny, kind-hearted man. He was a genuine and able outdoorsman, who could navigate whitewater, climb mountains, cross-country ski and tell a good story around a campfire with a wickedly wry sense of humor. His generous nature led him to quietly gift many of his possessions to those who admired them. Jim was born on February 22, 1950, and raised in Pittsburgh, moving to West Virginia to work for 20 years. He had recently returned to his boyhood home, where he passed away. After attending Peebles Elementary School, North Allegheny High School and Drexel University, Jim began his career as an inspector for a local food safety company. However, the desire for outdoor adventures led him to become a guide and a manager of Wilderness Voyageurs, a whitewater rafting company in Ohiopyle, PA. He later was employed by SuperValu, Inc. in Charleston, WV, where he oversaw distribution, safety and efficiency at their food warehouse facility. Recently he had been planning a long bicycle trip on his beloved recumbent bike as well as a canoe trip to Raystown. His mother, Grace Santmeyer Saulters; and his father, George Clifton Saulters, preceded him in death. He is survived by a nationwide network of good friends, who shared his love of the out of doors. Jim gave his volunteer time to restoring old railroad beds to bicycle trails. Contributions may be made in his name to Rails to Trails Conservancy, 2121 Ward Court, NW, 5th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20037. www.railstotrails.org, 1-866- 202-9788.

HSIEH CHIAO-MIN PROFESSOR EMER...
HSIEH CHIAO-MIN Professor Emeritus of Geography at the University of Pittsburgh passed away February 26, 2015, in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was 96 years old. Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, in China, Chiao-min, the youngest of four children, was a proud graduate of Zhejiang University in 1941. He arrived in the United States in the late 1940s with his wife, the late Jean Kan Hsieh, to pursue his doctoral studies in geography at Syracuse University. Chiao-min received his PhD in 1953. Unable to return to his homeland in the tumultuous 1950s, Chiao-min ultimately became a U.S. citizen and a world-wide traveler. Throughout his long distinguished career, Chiao-min taught at numerous universities, including Dartmouth College, University of Leeds, Catholic University, Hong Kong University, National Taiwan Normal University, the Chinese Culture University, and his alma mater, Zhejiang University.

His last book, "Race the Rising Sun" (2009) was a personal account, co-authored with his wife, Jean. The book describes their Zhejiang University years and the university's evacuation from the Japanese occupation of Hangzhou during the Second Sino-Japanese War. A learned, proud, competitive and determined man during his lifetime, Chiao-min was a passionate Chinese chess (xiangqi) player and a keen follower of basketball, especially of the University of Pittsburgh team.
