A few months ago, Ken Leib wrote a nice letter to me commenting on the editorial in which I paid tribute to George Reynolds (Optical Engineering, April 1987). Ken then went on to suggest that we should consider including one personal or historical type article in each issue of the journal. He expressed some concern about acceptance of such articles by the membership at large, but indicated that he personally would like to see us publish biographies of some of the "giants" of SPIE or articles related to the history of the society. That is an interesting idea, and I would like to hear from others concerning this suggestion.
