I was 49 years old when I was elected to the ALI. When I attended my first Annual Meeting in 2008, I felt like a virtual youngster. I expected to see members who were in their sixties or seventies. But, little did I expect to see nonagenarians at the annual meeting and one of them, Bennett Boskey, playing an active role as Treasurer of the organization. I consider myself fortunate to have seen Mr. Boskey in action at several Annual Meetings and hear him make his eponymous motion. Mr. Boskey became a member of the Institute in 1951, was elected to the Council in 1972 and was Treasurer from 1975 to 2010. Two of the judges for whom Mr. Boskey clerked, Judge Learned Hand and Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone, were among the members of the committee that established the ALI in 1923. Mr. Boskey was a living link to the earliest days of the Institute. His death on Thursday, May 12, on the eve this year's Annual Meeting, truly is the passing of an era. I am sure that I will not be the only member this week who will be thinking of Mr. Boskey when at the end of the discussion of a draft, someone moves that the draft be approved "subject to the usual editorial prerogatives of the reporter."
