Seems like we are losing so many of these spectacular scholars these days (sigh). Let's hope that others will step up to the challenge.

Dr. Figiel was collecting wootz and studying it when "wootz wasn't cool". His book sets a standard in the field, and will be a fine legacy.

Sincere sympathies to his family.
