THERE ARE SEVERAL STAGES TO FIRE ANT BITES
Dear Doctors: My husband and I were clearing weeds when I felt a sharp jab on my leg. I thought the weed whacker had kicked up a rock, but it was a bite from a fire ant. The pain was severe, as was the reaction. I got a huge lump, blisters and bright red skin. What can you do for fire ant bites?
RONALD R. ADEE
It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected and peaceful passing of Ronald R. Adee on Friday, April 7, 2023. He is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Elaine A. Kloss. Ron was born on July 17, 1951 in Hutchinson, Kansas to Raymond and Barbara (Boardman) Adee, who both predeceased him. He grew up in Newton, Kansas, where he attended Newton High School. Ron earned a BA in Economics from Northwestern University in 1973, an MSc degree in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 1974, and a JD degree from the University of Kansas in 1977. He was both a licensed attorney and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Ron also was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity at Northwestern. In 1977 Ron began his securities law career in the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Washington, D.C., where he served as special counsel in the Office of International Corporate Finance. In 1983 Ron joined the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in New York City. He returned to Washington, D.C. in 1993 and joined the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP and later transferred to the firm’s New York City office. Ron’s law practice primarily focused on global securities offerings and international securities transactions. He was known in the securities bar not only for his deep expertise in international securities law, but also for his calm demeanor and wry sense of humor. In the fast-paced world of international finance, Ron was known to keep a steady hand on the rudder. Despite the high-stakes nature of Ron’s work, he always treated his colleagues with dignity and respect and remained a gentleman in a rough and tumble world. After a 15-year friendship, Ron and Elaine married in 1996. They had a strong partnership and enjoyed life to its fullest. For most of their marriage Ron and Elaine maintained their primary residence in Manhattan and spent most weekends at their ho
