<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is with a sad heart that I must announce the passing today of Gari Ledyard. Gari, King Sejong Professor Emeritus of Korean History at Columbia University and my former advisor, was one of the pioneers of Korean Studies. He will be deeply
missed.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can provide more information soon, but I wanted to get the word out to his friends and colleagues.
