Although he focuses much of his attention on helping poor and underprivileged students get full financial aid, many of his friends and family said he helped everyone.

MADELINE JOAN FRANKS BELL, of Hemet, Calif.; June 11, of cancer, at the age of 92. She was a nationally known musician who was, for many years, the designated organist at USC. Bell began playing at the age of 5 and launched her musical career at 16 in her native New Jersey, playing the theater pipe organ for silent films. It was a short-lived career. With the advent of “talkies,” she was soon out of a job. Undaunted, she took up the accordion and in 1940 she came to Hollywood determined to try her luck in show business. There she discovered the Hammond electronic organ and its multivoice draw bars, to which she soon added the new Leslie Speaker System. With this combination, Bell became a successful organist playing on radio and television shows and in nightclubs and restaurants throughout Southern California and Nevada. She was featured each Sunday for 22 months on KMPC radio and for 52 weeks on the Ina Ray Hutton Show. But it was as USC’s official organist that many members of the Trojan family will remember her. In 1972 she and her husband, Jack Franks, a USC alumnus, attended a baseball game at Bovard Field only to discover that the organist didn’t know any USC songs. Long an enthusiastic Trojan fan, she simply stepped up to the keyboard and took over, regaling the crowd with a rousing rendition of the Trojan fight song, “Fight On, Old SC.” Coach Rod Dedeaux was suitably impressed and asked her on the spot if she was interested in becoming the team’s official organist. Bell was never paid for her appearances with the team and even went so far as to continue to buy season tickets long after her position as organist assured her free admission. In addition to her husband, she is survived by three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, several great-great-grandchildren and a brother.

FREDERICK W. GEORGE III, of San Marino, Calif.; June 11, following a long respiratory illness, at the age of 76. He was a USC physician and telemedicine pioneer. An advocate of using high-speed telecommunications to deliver advanced medical services to remote areas, George helped design and implement some of the first computer networks to enable, for example, a physician in Los Angeles to hear, view and also actively assist an operation performed in China. He came to USC in 1967 as professor of radiology and developed the Radiation Therapy Program at LAC+USC Medical Center. He was later appointed professor of radiology and senior research associate at USC Social Science Research Institute. Among his honors were a special award from the National Cancer Institute and a Surgeon General’s Commendation for Outstanding Leadership in the U.S. Navy. He authored many articles on tele-medicine, radiation therapy, automation and the use of computers in radiation therapy. In 1993, George aborted plans to retire in favor of starting work in a new field: telemedicine. He formed the USC ABBC and assembled a multi-disciplinary team of technicians and physicians for its use of digital technologies to design and deliver health-care services, especially to medically underserved and remote areas of the globe. His research led to a patented three-dimensional medical imaging system, and he played a major role in encouraging the growth of medical imaging at USC. He retired from USC in January. He is survived by his wife, Andra, seven children, 11 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

JACK K. HORTON, of Los Angeles; June 3, of congestive heart failure, at the age of 83. A Life Trustee of USC, he was former chairman and chief executive officer of Southern California Edison Co. He died five days after the death of his wife of 62 years, Betty. Horton was a leader in the business and education communities, championing nuclear power throughout his long career with utility companies. He was also a trustee of Stanford University, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1936, and a member of the president's board of Pepperdine University. The Nebraska-born Horton capped his career with 21 years at Edison. He joined the company as president in 1959, added the title chief executive officer in 1965 and was elected chairman of the board in 1968, serving until his retirement in 1980. A company award that is given to employees who risk their lives to perform heroic deeds is named in Horton's honor. He is survived by three children, Judy Magee Horton, Sally Horton Meersman and Harold E. Horton, a brother, Eugene, and five grandchildren. The family asked that any memorial contributions be sent to any or all of these three programs: the Jack and Betty Horton Rare Book Fund of Doheny Library, USC, Los Angeles, CA 90089; the Jack and Betty Horton Library Fund, Stanford University, 301 Encino Hall, Stanford, CA 94305; or Executive Services Corps, 520 S. Lafayette Park Place No. 210, Los Angeles, CA 90057.

EDWARD H. La FRANCHI, of Orcutt, Calif.; April 25, at the age of 91. He was a member of the faculty in USC’s Rossier School of Education from 1946 through 1973, ultimately becoming assistant dean. Secondary school administration and school housing were his field of specialization. He was named professor emeritus in 1973. He was an alumnus of UC Berkeley. Prior to accepting his faculty appointment at USC, he was superintendent of the St. Helena, Calif., school district. His wife, Marian, predeceased him in 1994. He is survived by four children, a sister and brother-in-law, 10 grandchildren and 16 great grand-children.
