In Memoriam: Charles McGregor (1937–2024)
We are saddened to report the passing of Charles McGregor, former Auditor of EURALEX (2010-2012), who died earlier this month at the age of 87.
Charles had a long and distinguished career in British educational publishing, specializing in language-teaching materials and books for primary and secondary schools in Africa. He was an Oxford graduate in Animal Physiology and a Sloan Fellow of the London Business School.
During his career, Charles held several key positions, including project manager for the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE).
We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues.
