Thanks, Phil!
September 9, 2021
Phil Radoff has been at the center of Banner doings since the spring of 2010. During his more than eleven years on the Banner team he has served as staff writer, co-editor, managing co-editor, and managing editor.
What you won’t see on the masthead listings are mention of his unofficial roles as Banner grammarian and proofreader extraordinaire. Banner writers, both past and present, can attest to his uncanny ability to spot misspellings, dangling modifiers, and missing serial commas.
Alas, we announce with regret that Phil is stepping down as an official member of the Banner team. Phil’s committee work may be complete, but as foreshadowed by the use of the word “official” in the previous sentence, while no longer a team member he will make occasional appearances as author and grammarian. Staff and readers will thus continue to benefit from his many talents.
