(Chuck) Cable, a mathematics educator and Professor Emeritus from Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, died on September 16, 2021 following a 24 year battle with prostate cancer.\u00a0 He was born on January 15, 1932 in Akeley, PA and is a son of Elton and Margaret (Fox) Cable.\u00a0 In 1955 he married Mabel E. Yeck.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 1954 with a BS Degree in mathematics\u00a0 and he began teaching high school mathematics and physics in Interlaken, New York in the fall of 1954.\u00a0 His teaching was interrupted in January of 1955 when he was drafted into the U.S. Army where he served for two years at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.\u00a0 After being honorably discharged in January 1957, Chuck taught at Tidioute High School in Tidioute, PA.\u00a0 He enjoyed teaching mathematics there for 1\u00bd years.\u00a0 At this point he needed to obtain more college credits to become a permanently certified teacher in the State of Pennsylvania.\u00a0 Normally the GI Bill would have provided the tuition for these credits but the GI Bill had ended in 1956 and was not reinstated until 1968.\u00a0 Scholarships were being offered by National Science Foundation (NSF) and also General Electric (GE) and he applied.\u00a0 Chuck was surprised when he received two telegrams announcing that he was awarded both the 1958 Summer GE Fellowship at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a full year NSF at the University of North Carolina (UNC) starting in the fall of 1958.\u00a0 He earned a M.Ed. degree in mathematics from UNC in 1959 and then held a position as Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA from 1959 until 1967.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of a long but important journey in his life he attended the NSF Summer Fellowship at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME in 1962.\u00a0 Upon returning to Juniata College in the fall of 1962 he continued to enjoy teaching full time while attending evening classes at Penn State University.\u00a0 He received another NSF Summer Fellowship in 1964 and while on sabbatical leave in 1965 he passed the written exams for the Ph.D.\u00a0 After receiving a one year NSF Faculty Fellowship in 1967 and a National Defense Act Fellowship in 1968 he graduated from Penn State University with a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1969.\u00a0 His Ph.D. dissertation was titled \u201cThe Decomposition of Certain Group Rings\u201d and was written under the supervision of Dr. Raymond Ayoub.\u00a0 In 1969 Chuck was appointed as an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA.\u00a0 He was promoted to the rank of Full Professor in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after starting at Allegheny College Chuck became chair of a young math department with the goal of making it one of the best in the college.\u00a0 He skillfully and successfully led the department for 20 years.\u00a0 He was especially proud of his efforts to institute a Math Department Speakers Series in 1972 which invited nationally known mathematicians to give a week-long series of talks at Allegheny College each Fall Term and Spring Term.\u00a0 These speakers also interacted with students in small group discussions and at mealtimes both on campus and at the Cable home.\u00a0 He also began an annual publication of Math News which was distributed to all Math Alumni of the College.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck was held in high esteem by his colleagues on the faculty of Allegheny College.\u00a0 He was elected to serve five three year terms on Faculty Council.\u00a0 He served as Chair of the Science Division and a two year term as President of the local Chapter of the American Association of University Professors.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Cable was a member of the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) for sixty years at both the sectional and national level.\u00a0 He was Chairman of the Allegheny Mountain Section from 1973 to 1975.\u00a0 He instituted a session for undergraduate students to present research talks at the annual Allegheny Mountain Section Meeting. \u00a0\u00a0The Allegheny Section was the first section to have student sessions.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982 Chuck was elected Governor of the Allegheny Mountain Section.\u00a0 The idea of instituting student chapters was strongly supported by Chuck and he worked hard to convince the other Governors of its value.\u00a0 The Student Chapter Program passed in 1984, the final year that he was a Governor.\u00a0 He served on the Committee for Student Chapters for the first six years of its existence.\u00a0 He is quoted in the February 2005 Focus saying, \u201cWhen my initial efforts to form Student Chapters were unsuccessful, I was quite disappointed and I gave up.\u00a0 However, several months later Paul Halmos urged me to try again saying that sometimes it takes a while to get used to new ideas.\u00a0 I followed his suggestion and found that he was correct.\u00a0 The persistence eventually paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He took a sabbatical in 1986 spending a year at University of Colorado Denver where he joined a graph theory research group.\u00a0 He became involved in a project where he and his new colleagues introduced niche graphs, an extension of competition graphs which arose from the study of food webs.\u00a0 Fortuitously it was presented by a coauthor as part of a talk at a special workshop at the University of Minnesota on applications of graph theory to the biological and social sciences.\u00a0 As a result of this exposure and Chuck\u2019s first paper in 1989, several mathematicians became interested in niche graphs and wrote a variety of papers.\u00a0 Working with various combinations of five coauthors, Chuck published seven papers on the topic from 1989 to 2001.\u00a0 A particularly nice paper was a complete characterization of niche graphs and mixed pair graphs of tournaments found by Chuck and his coauthors.\u00a0 Chuck retired in 1996, but he continued his graph theory research after the niche graph papers and published three papers on king sets and quasi-kernels from 2005 &#8211; 2012.<\/p>\n<p>He was honored to serve as one of the first group of Associate Editors of the MAA\u2019s Focus.\u00a0 His outstanding service to the Allegheny Mountain Section was recognized in 2003 with the Section Service Award.\u00a0 In January 2005 Chuck received a Meritorious Service Award in Mathematics from the MAA at a ceremony in Atlanta, GA for his service to the MAA at both the sectional and national levels.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck enjoyed competing in various sports activities throughout his life.\u00a0 While he was a faculty member at Juniata College he played handball, basketball and tennis.\u00a0 During the years when he was a professor at Allegheny College he engaged in tennis, racket ball, sailing and downhill skiing.\u00a0 After he retired he continued downhill skiing, sailing and playing tennis.\u00a0 He was admired for his great sense of humor.\u00a0 \u00a0Music played a very important part in his life.\u00a0 He played the trumpet for many years, sang in the Meadville, PA First Presbyterian Church Choir and in the barbershop chorus at the Green Mountain Presbyterian Church of Lakewood, CO.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his loving wife, Mabel, of 65 years, he is survived by two children, Christopher Cable and his wife Nancy of Dallas, TX and Carolyn Blinsmon and her husband Brad of Denver CO; three grandchildren Ryan Cable and his wife Isabel, Dr. Tracy Cable and her husband Barrett Davis, and Heather Blinsmon; one great grandchild David Cable.\u00a0 He is also survived by a twin brother Clair Cable and his wife Monchaya, who reside in Russell, PA and Bangkok, Thailand and a niece and three nephews.\u00a0 He was preceded in death by his parents.<\/p>\n<p>Memorial contributions may be made to the Charles and Mabel Cable
