He grew up in Tennessee and entered the University of Tennessee, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1938. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by The Johns Hopkins University in 1941, specializing in endocrinology and development. During the summer of 1941 he was a member of a Johns Hopkins zoological expedition into the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. In the fall of 1941 he returned to Johns Hopkins to continue his research. In May of 1942 Professor Dent was taken into the Army Air Corps. In September he was commissioned as an Aviation Physiologist and served in that capacity until he was released from active duty in September 1945. He remained in the Air Corps Reserve and Air Force Reserve until he retired as Lieutenant Colonel in 1986. Following his military service, Professor Dent taught briefly as an assistant professor at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and at the University of Pittsburgh until September 1949 when he joined the Department of Biology at the University of Virginia, rising from associate professor to professor and professor emeritus upon his retirement in 1986. During his career at the University of Virginia he was on leave as visiting professor and/or research fellow several times. He visited Saint Andrews University, Saint Andrews, Scotland (1959-60); Harvard University (1968-69); Benaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, and University of Calcutta, Calcutta, India (1975); University of California, Berkeley, California (1976).

Professor Dent's research was concerned primarily with various aspects of developmental physiology and comparative endocrinology. Most of his studies were carried out upon amphibians.

He was a member of the editorial board of the journal General and Comparative Endocrinology from 1978 to 1986. Travel, especially foreign travel, was something Professor Dent enjoyed. He also participated in numerous backpacking and climbing trips, usually in the high Sierra. He took much pleasure in working with his shrubs and roses and occasionally in painting and sculpture. His greatest joy, however, was found on the ski slopes of Colorado. Professor Dent is survived by his two daughters, Ms. Julie Dent Carlyle of San Francisco, California, and Ms. Martha Elizabeth Dent of Richmond, Virginia. Funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent to the University of Virginia Fund, to be added to the funds provided for the James Norman Dent Award.

Ruth M. Dietrich WERNAU, Germany - Ruth Elfriede Meta Dietrich, 92, died in her sleep on the morning of Jan. 22, 2009, at St. Lukas Pflegeheim, Wernau, Germany. Born Oct. 1, 1916, in Glogau, Silesia, she was the daughter of Herbert and Meta Jahrisch and the much-loved widow of Karl Friedrich Dietrich. She had a giant spirit inside a small, elegant frame. Her courtesy and grace were of the old-world kind and she possessed a fine intellect spiced with an undiminished curiosity for the world around her. An appetite for adventure took her to India where she rode elephants, to Egypt and the pyramids and Bali and even the Pentagon where she charmed an admiral. She was fluent in several languages, switching flawlessly to the end of her life between English, French and German. The Comedian Harmonists remained her favorite pop group, and she once had a collection of all their recordings. She loved her garden. A son, Rainer Guenter-Karl Dietrich predeceased her. She is survived by a son, retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Eric Juergen-Carl Dietrich-Berryman, Ph.D., (Roberta) of Berlin and Virginia Beach; her brother, former Obermaat (U-256/U-773) Guenter Herbert Jahrisch (Lieselotte) of Wendlingen; granddaughters, Daniela Haller (Ingo) of Stuttgart, Carmen Schurr (Joachim) of Goppingen, Lillian Diamond and Stefanie Michaels of Albuquerque, Kim Berryman of San Diego; and great-grandchildren, Dayna, Lars, Max, Sarah and a yet-unborn girl awaited in March.

She was predeceased by her husband, best friend and love of her life, Charles Williams, Jr. She was also predeceased by her father, George Edward Smith. Faye was born and raised in Brunswick County (Rawlings), Va., and attended Alberta High School. Faye resided in Covenant Woods Continuing Care in Mechanicsville, Va., and was a member of Corinth United Methodist Church, where she served in many capacities, including lay minister for over 40 years. She was extremely devoted to her church and ministering to other people on a continual basis. Even in death, Faye continues to be an inspiration to so many and her loving spirit will live on in their hearts forever. Her God and her church were her first love, and she lived a life that so deeply proved her devotion. Her mother, Mattie Jenkins, is left to cherish her memories, and the love she leaves behind. She is also survived by one sister, Audrey Crittenden; a brother, George Smith Jr. and his wife, Wanda; three nieces, Wanda Robinson and her husband, Paul, Sarah Philip and her husband, Frank, and Melissa Wherrell and her husband, Nevin; two nephews, Ed Crittenden and his wife, Janie, and Austin Smith.

She is also survived by a great-great-nephew, Travis Wright; and a great-great-niece, Marin Wright. Every person who knew Faye boasts a more spiritual-filled life because she radiated such an essence of faith, and the love of her Heavenly Father. She will be missed here on earth beyond description, but being lifted out of her pain and suffering will allow her even more teaching possibilities with the guidance of our Heavenly Father. We know Charles is surely with her there as well. God bless you, Faye. Our love for you will never waiver.
