I was looking for background information about Harry's beloved wife, Judy, when I discovered this notice. I just wanted their children Jiffy and Tom who I knew as teenagers, that many of your parent;s colleagues thought so highly of them Judy was my best friend and I think about her often, always with great fondness and miss her. And Harry was always such a lively and engaged person who was irrepressible and so civic minded. I think I can say for many of us in the academic community who were involved in the arts and in politics that they were a couple so man yof us miss. I also wanted to let you know that Judy's colleagues at the conference on Social Theory, Politics and the Arts, which Judy was a founder of, is still going strong and has relatively formally joined up with the Journal of Arts Management, Law and Society (which Judy was the executive Editor for in the 1990s.) A year after Judy died, the conference started giving an award to the best graduate student presentation in honor of Judy's legacy of mentoring young scholars in the field. In 2019, we are shifting the award to the best annual article in the Journal of Arts management, Law and society which will be announced each year the the Annual STPA conference. The memory and good works of Judy and Harry continue to live on.
