  1. 91?? Wow!

    I contributed to the Best Editorial of the Year books back in 90s and 2000s. Mr. Brooks was a great editor and a very gracious man.

    Sorry to hear of his passing.

  3. I also was a contributor during the 90’s and 00’s.
    Mr. Brooks was a benefit to the editorial art form.
    May his legacy live on in future editions of BECY.
