It is with great sadness that we announce the death on Sunday June 26th 2011, after a long battle with ill health,

of Elaine Matthews, Editor of LGPN for more than 25 years.

The Lexicon owes an enormous debt of gratitude to her for her untiring and often groundbreaking work,

and she will be very much missed by us all.
