What a terrible loss for all of us. Don was a man of integrity and brilliance. He influenced the lives and thinking of so many people of all ages and stages, and was totally modest about his impact. He made each person he touched feel special and respected. The world is a lesser place without him

Donald H. Graves (Don) died on 9/28. Don was involved in writing research for decades publishing classic books with Heinemann on the subject.

Don was a gentle, wondrous soul, a true friend and one who embraced authors.
