I love his fiction and use his story "The Refugees" in my course on ethical themes in the contemporary American short story. Most of my students love it, too.

I took a two-block course with Professor Yaffe in the late 1980s. He was a great inspiration to me, and although I haven't seen him for years, I will miss him very much.

Although I never met him, James Yaffe has been a presence in my life since I was 16 and became the second youngest person to publish in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. He, at 15, was and remains the youngest. His work brought joy to many thousands of readers, including me, and will live on far into the future. My condolences to his family and my thanks to him.

So sorry to hear about Jimmy's death. My love to the whole family, Elaine, the kids and especially Oona. I was in Utah when I heard....or I would have been at the funeral.
