This number is for George William (Bill) Koon and Frank Louis Day, close friends who were also Clemson’s first two managing editors of The South Carolina Review; may they rest in peace. On August 2, 2017, Frank passed away after a long illness, followed by Bill, on October 3, after a surprisingly short one. The near coincidence recalls the theme of Bill’s address during the journal’s fortieth-anniversary celebration, “Parallel Lives,” as he called it, after a book he liked by Plutarch. Considering their long association as fellow editors, professors, and department heads, the lives of Bill and Frank were in many ways coincident but parallel—their careers ran “along side by side” The South Carolina Review (see 41.1 [Fall 2008]: 3-4).
