Abstract :
In the past few months, we have lost five major contributors to our EMC Society and EMC discipline. I am saddened by the increase in those passing from us but then again heartened by where they are now. While I did not know most that you will read about below, I was very impressed with their collective work and contributions which are presented. In reading the testimonials you get a better sense of how these contributors influenced those that worked with them in a very positive way. Their personal interactions are quite touching and display the human side of their presence in positively influencing many. That indeed is a special gift that we all benefited from receiving. So let us thank them in our hearts for what they were and consider keeping their memories alive.
