H-ASIA April 8, 2014 In appreciation of Frank Conlon ************** From: Marilyn Levine <levinem@cwu.edu> Dear Frank, I know you have received so many well-deserved expressions of gratitude and appreciation by colleagues in H-ASIA. I would like to add my voice to the chorus. I've had the extra pleasure over the last twenty-years of editing H-ASIA (thorough 2005) with Frank Conlon and of spending many hours with him in person at AHA meetings, AAS meetings, and H-NET meetings. We've sat on panels, advocated for scholarly moderated discourse, providing access for colleagues worldwide, issues of reviews, graduate students, and other concerns such as the place of scholarship on the growing digital landscape. At all times, Frank Conlon is the exemplar of the scholar-citizen, who can combine thoughtfulness, a witty sense of humor and self-deprecation, and a true passion for truth and civility. When the history of the digital age is written, Frank Conlon deserves to be included as an innovator who managed to be diligent, thorough, and who has promoted the greater good. I wish Frank, and his wonderful wife, Joan, an actual full retirement. I know that does not mean sitting in your garden-but at least you won't have to worry about a post in a digital box somewhere or a new discussion thread that needs your guidance. Enjoy the well-deserved rest and words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to you for your absolute dedication and goodness. With best wishes, Marilyn Marilyn A. Levine, Ph.D. Provost/Vice President for Academic and Student Life Central Washington University Ellensburg, WA 98926-7503 ****************************************************************** To post to H-ASIA simply send your message to: <H-ASIA@h-net.msu.edu> For holidays or short absences send post to: <listserv@h-net.msu.edu> with message: SET H-ASIA NOMAIL Upon return, send post with message SET H-ASIA MAIL H-ASIA WEB HOMEPAGE URL:http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/ --
