JAMES WRIGHT, BA'65, a very familiar figure at McGill, who served his alma mater in a wide range of capacities, was killed in a propane explosion at his family's Laurentian cottage on September 1.

A prominent Montreal lawyer and a former Westmount city councillor, Wright was the director of the Sauvé Scholars Foundation, a unique initiative that brings promising young scholars and professionals to Montreal from around the globe. They learn from each other and from McGill — Sauvé Scholars enjoy wide access to McGill's courses and resources. Wright was a McGill governor emeritus and a former president of the McGill Alumni Association. Meriam Maza, a former Sauvé Scholar, also died in the blast that took Wright's life. Nancy Wright, his wife, was injured, but survived the explosion. "Jim will be remembered by all of us who knew him with enormous respect and genuine affection," says Principal Heather Munroe-Blum. Wright is pictured here receiving the MAA's highest honour, the Award of Merit, in 2004.

JOSEPH GRAHAM STRATFORD, BSc'45, MDCM'47, MSc'51, DIPMED'54, an eminent neurosurgeon, passed away on July 22 while vacationing in France. After having trained with legendary Montreal Neurological Institute founder Wilder Penfield, Stratford taught at the University of Saskatchewan before returning to McGill. As the head of the Montreal General Hospital's neurosurgery division in 1966, Stratford helped create a 30-bed neurological and neurosurgical ward with a dedicated intensive care unit — a first in Canada. In 1985, he played a leading role in the creation of the McGill-MGH Pain Centre, taking on the position of medical director. He received the MGH Award of Merit in 2000 in recognition of the important role he had played at McGill and the Montreal General for many years. Following his death, his friends and relatives created the Dr. Joe Stratford Memorial Fund in his honour. All funds benefit the MUHC Pain Centre, and those wishing to donate may do so through McGill's Faculty of Medicine (contact: 514-398-5000 or info.alumni@mcgill.ca).
