Science News - USA (2021-11-20)

J

on Gra was a lifelong Science News reader

who greatly admired the communications

skills of its writers and

editors. During his life, Jon

helped devise the secure

methods we use every day

to make online credit card

transactions. He also loved

taking long trips in the

Southwest on his beloved

green bike.

When Jon looked back over his life as he grew

older, he thought about the things that mattered

to him most — his biking friends, his seminal work

as a cryptographic architect and decades of

reading Science News.

Sadly, Jon died in January 2021 at the age of 77.

Before he died, Jon made a bequest intention to

create an endowment — The Jon C. Gra Fund

for Science News — whose income will bene…it

both the Society for Science and Science News

journalism in perpetuity.

Bequest gifts are the right kind of gift for many

of us, enabling us to support the organizations

we most admire after our lifetimes.
