backhand Gone too soon, my client, Donald Smith, passed away in October. An erudite gentleman, I loved reading about his many adventures. He imbued his adventurous spirit into his fiction and his Constable character embodied all of the attributes that make me think of Don: sharp, intrepid, and daring, yet a homebody at heart.
We worked together for many years and I will miss digging into another transporting manuscript of his. Rest easy, Don.
