Sad news indeed. I remember how profound an influence he had in the early days of REED.
Thanks, Sandy!
[log in to unmask]">Thank you, Sandy, for this lovely piece.What continues to strike me as I read across the reminiscences of so many of our colleagues and peers on social media is how, for so many of us, David Bevington was a profound mentor and guide; generous, considerate, encouraging. He was a person to learn from and aspire to be.We are better for his kindness as well as for his wisdom.
A beautiful tribute-it is so sad to lose such a great scholar and teacher.

Certainly, Milla. I would be happy to have my tribute included if you do make a collection of them. Did you see the one by Helen Ostovich?

Dear Alexandra:
I am working with a few people to do a tribute to David at the next SAA meeting. One of the things I believe we might do is collect written tributes.
yours is so beautiful and so completely on target (how he was able to remain so open throughout such a long life to anyone young with energy and good ideas is a mystery) that I hope you would allow us to include it in such a collection if we do actually make one.
Thank you,Hoping you are well,Milla Riggio
