Sadly, I must take pen to paper, so to speak, and write about a great friend of all of us.
As has become widely known in our community through our many social media and other outlets, Tom Regnier passed away from COVID-19 on April 14, 2020.
Tom's death is a great loss for me personally, as well as for the Oxfordian world in general.
