Thank you for this information. I hadn't known. He truly was the greatest mentor and the greatest friend that a then young editor could hope to have. And he was the most generous of scholars. I could write a book of John and Barbara memories. So could we all. Thanks for everything, John. Jim S.

Wasson edited, with David Galloway, the dramatic records of Norfolk and Suffolk for the Malone Society, experience that he shared at REED's first colloquium in 1978. His edition of the Devon records appeared in 1986 and he went on to edit the records of Derbyshire and, with Barbara Palmer, the records of the West Riding of Yorkshire, work that will be completed by other members of the REED team. In addition to his own editing work, Wasson served on REED's Editorial Advisory Board and as a Senior Adviser, and was a valued mentor to the following generation of REED editors, notably James Stokes and Peter Greenfield
