4 Ontario Review Fall S p r i n g 2008 This final issue of Ontario Review is dedicated to the memory of its devoted and idealistic editor, my beloved husband R A Y M O N D S M I T H ( ). It was Raymond's dream to establish a North American Journal of the Arts in which American and Canadian writers would be published side by side. Originally begun in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, where Raymond and I were on the faculty of the English Department of the University of Windsor, Ontario Review was moved to Princeton, New Jersey in fall 1978, when I joined the creative writing faculty of Princeton University. Since that time, OR has expanded its contributors to include writers from many countries though our base has continued to remain in North America. It is with much sorrow and regret that I must announce the termination of the Ontario Review with this spring 2008 issue, which Raymond had completed editing shortly before his sudden death on February 17,2008. Hospitalized in Princeton, New Jersey, Raymond died of complications following pneumonia. He had no anticipation that he would not be returning home within a few days to finalize this issue. As an editor, Raymond was tireless, idealistic, and ever-hopeful. He took great pleasure in working with longtime OR contributors like Matthew Daub, Albert Goldbarth, Dick Allen, Sheila Kohler, Joan Murray, and Michael Goldman, among others, and enormous pleasure in publishing newcomers like L.E. Usher, Matthew Dulany, Edith Pearlman, Karl Jirgens, our award-winning Stellar Kim, and many others over the decades. We will all miss Ray very much.
