Re: JCO: Raymond J. Smith

I never met him - I don't think he was there on the two occasions I met JCO. A sad day indeed.

The front page is a touching tribute, Randy. Thank you. I hadn't heard about this. How devastating! I had only met Raymond a couple of times, but he was very kind and engaging with a good sense of humor. Over his life he showed such a commitment to literature and new voices. It's really so sad to hear about this.
 
All the best,
Eric
