Abstract
We were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of our longtime friend and colleague Dr. Norman Paskin in March 2016.
Norman will be remembered as the thoughtful and tireless founding director of the International DOI Foundation (IDF). Some of us were fortunate to have known him in the earliest days, during those formative pre-DOI Foundation meetings when technical and political views came together to form the foundation of what the DOI is today. The early days of DOI involved many lengthy, sometimes heated, email and face-to-face discussions, and we fondly remember Norman as a sensible voice calling out in the wilderness.
