It is with much sadness the Department of Economics announces the passing of three of our former faculty members. Several of their colleagues have shared their memories of Bruce Fletcher, Scott Gordon, and Lloyd Orr.
Bruce Fletcher, a long-time instructor in the Department of Economics, died peacefully on August 2, 2019 at the age of 84, following a short illness. He is survived by Mary-Ann Link, his wife of 20 years.
Distinguished Professor Emeritus H. Scott Gordon passed away on May 16, 2019, after a lengthy stay in the Meadowood retirement facility. Scott retired from the Economics Department in 1989 after 23 years. Scott was known throughout the economics profession for his seminal work on the economics of fisheries. His tenure at Indiana University was a remarkable success.
Lloyd Orr came to IU in 1960 as a Lecturer and became Assistant Professor of Economics in 1964 upon completion of his doctorate at Northwestern University. Lloyd attended public school in Washington, D.C. and Battle Creek, Michigan, and lived in Iowa for six months. He received his B.A. in Psychology from Michigan State University in 1956.
