Farewell: Steven Poe

Dear Colleagues,

It is my extremely sad duty to inform you that Steve Poe, our editor in chief of International Studies Quarterly, a friend, and a major contributor to our profession, passed away last week.

Visitation is being held today in Denton Texas and he will be buried tomorrow. His family asked that instead of sending flowers people could make a donation to either the University of North Texas Peace Studies Program, or the William Penn Peace Studies Program.

Steve nurtured ISQ as if it was his own. And when we asked him for myriad "favors" to assist with other journals and publication issues he did it with great grace and professionalism. He was fun to chat with, and great pleasure to have as a colleague, and he died ever so young. I will miss him very much as I'm sure you will as well.

Thank you.

Tom Volgy
ISA Executive Director
