Marlan Bourns, who with his wife Rosemary established a Riverside-based global corporation based on his electronic inventions that help keep airplanes, missiles, and lunar landers on course, cars stopping and going, and let musicians crank up the volume on their electric guitars, has passed away.
He was 93, and had more than 100 patents to his name, the first of those created in a single-car garage. Rosemary Bourns died in 2012. The couple's other legacy was established in 1994 when they endowed UC Riverside with $6 million for what became the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, a school that now has 2,300 undergraduate students and 600 post-graduate students. They also established Bourns Laboratories at Cal Baptist University's School of Engineering. (Read more...)
