Arthur Spiegelman

I was stunned to read the shocking, sad, sad, sad news about Art's passing away. What can one say at an awful time like this. I just pray that his noble soul will rest in peace. God bless his dearest family. 

Naturally, he will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I have such pleasant, happy memories of dear ‘Art', who was such a loyal friend and remarkable Reuter colleague. Art was a fine, objective journalist with great integrity. He worked so efficiently and with a great sense of proportion, humour and integrity. Art indeed rendered to our beloved news agency great, loyal service. He will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him.

As Ezra Pound said, “The quality of the affection - in the end - is in the trace it leaves in the mind.”

Respect and love for the unique Art is carved in my heart. ■
