     Dr. Lusty, a native Nashvillian, graduated from Isaac Litton High School, B.S. and M.A. from Peabody College, and Ed.D. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He was awarded institutes at Duke University and Washington University by the National Science Foundation and won a National Defense Education Act Scholarship. His career included work as a high school science teacher, college chemistry teacher, industrial chemist, research biochemist and school system administrator. One of the highlights of his career was participation as an evaluator for the Career Ladder Program in Tennessee.
     Stuart was an approachable man, willing to help others understand some of the mysteries of science. His circle of friends was wide and varied. Although he once was a staunch Baptist, serving as choir director and occasionally filling a pulpit, he was led to a deeper belief of the Creator and became more spiritual than religious.

     A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
