Hayo, While a Festschrift in the JEI would be fine, a book featuring papers honoring Fred is in the works. I expect it will be available early, 2015. John John F.

My tumor had a 50:50 percent of survival. Fred's took longer, so he could say "goodbye", while I luckily survived mine a few years ago (at the age of 40 so it gave me a second life). He had a long and fulfilled life and there is not much more one can wish for. As a German I suggest: let's write a "Festschrift" for him. I had promised him an article, which I would write postumously about the differentiation between what is "social" and what is "political" in economics, which is I think one of the central themes to drive his activities. I am (unfortunately only now) ready to do it. Who is in as well (I sugget to accept only "foundational" articles, i.e. non-standard ones, for this venture)?

Given his deterioration over the last week, this was something of a welcome relief. The tentative date for his memorial service is November 8, but an announcement as to the details will be forthcoming. John F.
