Those of us who are getting older will be encouraged by the example of John Corbett McDonald, who authored or co-authored over 70 of his 319 papers after his 70th birthday. What seems to have been the last of them was in the Annals in 2010, when Corbett was 92. Sad to say, he died on 25 April 2016. He worked on a wide range of occupational hazards, but for many people his best-known work was on the Quebec asbestos industry. This is one of the major studies that have contributed to understanding the risk of asbestos disease, but for it he was publicly attacked by those who disagreed with his findings and the use made of them on behalf of the asbestos industry. We were among those who worked with him and often sympathized with him in the controversies, so we may not be classed by some as completely neutral observers. Nevertheless, we have striven to remain scientifically objective, and as we approach the first anniversary of his death, we would like to set in context some of his contributions of interest to Annals readers.
