Letters to the Editors


* E. Graham Ward passed away suddenly on May 23, 2012. He was an editor of Spritsail. He was also a fine researcher and an excellent writer. He frequently contributed articles to Spritsail, including this very issue. We will miss his intellectual contributions and his stimulating company. We extend our sympathy to Maria and their children.
