In a little while the People Newspapers/D Magazine family will gather to say goodbye to senior editor Glenn Arbery, who has so ably handled our Weekend section since its inception five years ago. For those who haven’t heard, Glenn is returning to academia, taking a two-year appointment to a chair at a college up in Massachusetts.
All of us who have had the privilege of working with Glenn will miss him, and the Dallas arts scene will have one less champion for its cause. Everyone who has had dealings with Glenn comes away impressed by his intelligence, but also his kindness and humility. Here’s a little taste of what I’m talking about.
A true gentleman and one of the best critics in town. He will be missed.
Good luck and congratulations, Glenn. We’ll miss you but now we have a free place to stay when we want to take a New England foliage tour in the fall. Right?
Glenn?
Hello?????
Glenn is THE best critic in town. Hurray for him, but sad for us.
