We were saddened to learn Gordon Fretwell passed away on December 1. Gordon made many contributions to ARL assessment efforts, especially serving as editor of the ARL Annual Salary Survey for 16 years. He will be deeply missed but his legacy lives on. https://douglassfuneral.com/wp-content/plugins/funeralworks_obituary_plugin/ajax-obituary2.php?Counter=2226&mn=25
