I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Hirsch. I corresponded with him over a number of years and his encouragement and kindness to me will always be remembered.
The last email I received from Professor Herb was to inform me that he was stepping away for a time from the journal GSI because of ill health, but that my latest article would continue to go through the process of publication.
I have tonight accessed that journal online for the first time to read Herb's always insightful introduction to the journal, before I did so I also looked at the dedication.
I am truly sad and upset by learning of this news and I extend my belated sympathies to his friends, colleagues and family. He was a wonderful scholar and fine gentleman.
I will greatly regret that I did not get to meet or interview him.
I feel privileged to have corresponded with him over the last five years and for my articles to have been published in a journal so closely associated with Herb.
Sincerely,
Adam Hughes Henry
