Well, my goodness---what a wonderful eulogy---I'm sure all of the big names
would be saying "Huzzah!" Ruth Gordon. But those of us who are at the end of our lives are saddened by the wonderful people we knew and loved and lift our glasses to their greatness---huzzah!!!! Jane B=

1. Among t he missing
-----------------------------------------------------------=
Among the missing From: "Ruth I. Gordon" Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:06:19 -0700 X-Message-Number: 1As I read each obituary and tribute to so many really "big names" in the book business, I first thought about them, and then about those they left behind. Their friends,
partners, editors, lovers, all those with whom they worked. I thought about the compass points that those among the living now no longer had. Each death smacks out a point on the compass upon which we depended. I felt--deeply--for them, as o ne must when faced with loss. Then I thought about all those students of mine over the years who were lost to all of us because of obscene wars. So many of those once-boys and girls--golden youth--who could never fulfill their talents and contributions to all of us. And, believe me, I was awe struck at our losses and sad beyond measure.
All of the headline people whom we memorialize in the N.Y.Times, PW, SLJ, Horn Book, BayViews, and the like, had all run their course, contributed greatly, will always be remembered as their books live. And they all livedlong lives and, perhaps, were at the end of their work. As for the once-young we all lost--what a terrible waste and loss. Let's send up a thought to them, too.
