I heard today from his sister that Charles Parrish Blitch (b.1925) died at his home in Statesboro, Georgia on July 22. Several HES members will remember Charles for his long-standing interest (actively continued up to his death) in the work of Allyn Young and for his illuminating biography, _Allyn Abbott Young: The Peripatetic Economist_ (Macmillan 1995). A graduate of Georgia Southern University, Emory University and the University of North Carolina, he taught at The Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va from 1966-90. In 1943, aged 18, he joined the Army 5th Air Force, serving as a navigator in the South Pacific Theater until 1946. He was a very fine fellow. Roger Sandilands
