Last week Jack Temple Kirby died suddenly at 70 years old. Jack's death didn't make the local papers. Chances are you¹ve never heard his name, but with his passing one of the great Southern environmental historians was silenced.

Let us pause for a moment of silence for beloved professor, friend, columnist, and book reviewer Larry McGehee. Larry passed last month, and his regular column Southern Seen (often printed in these pages) has now also settled into the literary and social history he so loved.
