Editorial honors the legacy of Peter Neumann through his last message and subsequent issue.
It is with great sadness that I start out this article by acknowledging the passing of the first editor of SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, Peter Neumann. In his honor, what follows is the last Letter from the Editor that Peter wrote for the October 1993 issue of ACM Software Engineering Notes (vol 18 no 4) (FWIW, I left in the spelling errors, since spell check wasn't around for LaTex in 1993.) This is followed by the first issue of SEN that I edited.
