The JTA has the sad news:
Henry Everett, 78, remembered for his devotion to social justice. The obituary tells of his life-saving anti-tobacco activism, his willingness to be a nudnick in the cause of good, and he and his wife Edith's second date at a Norman Thomas lecture.
The JTA obit doesn't mention his important role in helping the Jewish Student Press Service in the '80s, at least long enough for me to have my first job there as editor. (The collapse of JSPS in the immediate wake of my departure is another story, one in which Henry had no involvement.)

May his memory be for a blessed inspiration.
