away, the journal Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation is dedicating to
his memory a special issue, containing "Fundamental concepts" (with a
foreword by Peter Mosses), the original monograph on continuations (with
a foreword by Christopher Wadsworth), and a collection of tributes by Rod
Burstall, R. Kent Dybvig, Mike Gordon, David Hartley, Tony Hoare, Michael
Jackson (the computer scientist), Peter Landin, Robert Milne, Roger
Penrose, Martin Richards, David Schmidt, Dana Scott, Bob Tennent, and Dan
