We are saddened to announce that Beth A Hoffman, the long-serving Managing Editor of "The Freeman" magazine, and key component of the Foundation for Economic Education staff, has passed away at age 58. Beth was a wonderful person, always smiling and giving her all to support free markets. She was a brilliant editor, and never failed to make one feel at home when visiting FEE in Irvington, NY.

Our sympathies go out to her family and her friends. She was a true marvel, and her smile will be remembered along with her enthusiasm for freedom. Rest in peace, Beth. We'll miss you.
