Dear NOTA Members,
Dr. Leland D. Wright Jr. passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. An ATA-certified Spanish->English translator, he was a life member of the American Translators Association (1975-present), an ATA Director from 1978-1984, a certification exam grader, and former chair of the Spanish graders group. Lee founded the Northeast Ohio Translators Association (NOTA) and was a long-term fixture on the Executive Committee. A former editor of the ATA Chronicle, he frequently contributed to the Chronicle and to NOTA BENE, the NOTA newsletter (which he named).
Lee was a 1970 graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, with his PhD degree in Hispanic Languages and Linguistics. In addition to running his own translation company (Wright & Associates), he shared his gift with students, having taught most recently at Kent State University and online through the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies. With Alan Melby and a small group of developers, he played an instrumental role in developing Mercury-Termex, the first PC-based translation-oriented terminology management program.
He leaves behind his devoted wife, Dr. Sue Ellen Wright, and loving daughter, Dr. Elena Kramer. Memorial donations can be made to the American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation, Inc. (AFTI) in his name.
