Footnotes

Much of this memoriam is taken from unpublished remarks I made on introducing Ray Reiter on the occasion of his receiving the Research Excellence Award at the 1993 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-93). To gain a better perspective of Ray as a person, I solicited comments from some of his former students: Dave Etherington, and Iluju Kiringa; from his colleagues: Hector Levesque, Fiora Pirri, and Richard Rosenberg; from his friend Avis Lang; and from his brother, Jack Reiter.
