We remember SHR editor, Tom Wright, who died yesterday. Tom was assistant editor (1983-85) and then co-editor of SHR (1985-1991) until his retirement in 1991. Tom was a kind man, with a wicked sense of humor and a sweet tooth. His many comment card reflect both characteristics.
Dan closed his Fall 1991 Editors' Comment with the following lovely salute, which also seems appropriate now:
"It is a matter of clear unanimity here...a unanimity of regret, that this fall issue is the last in which we can expect the collaboration of our colleague, Tom Wright, who escaped to retirement earlier this year. We will miss his stabilizing influence, humor, and depth of experience. Free now from the tyrannical quartan fever rhythms of four numbers and four hundred pages a year, may he now have leisure to indulge his bracing prose style, the most entertaining we have seen, to unfetter Pegasus and fly."
Tom will be missed by all of us here at SHR, and we keep his family and friends in our thoughts.
