Michael B. Gregg, M.D. (1930 – 2008), a retired MMWR Editor, died on July 9, 2008, in Brattleboro, Vermont. He was 78. Although he was widely accomplished in epidemiology and public health, Dr. Gregg was best known for his service as Editor of MMWR for 21-years, and for his editorship of the widely read textbook, Field Epidemiology. As MMWR Editor, during 1967-1988, Dr. Gregg strengthened the publication's ability to provide accurate and timely public health information to health-care and public health professionals and oversaw expansion of MMWR, to accommodate a widening scope of public health topics. In 1981, Dr. Gregg made the decision to publish a report in MMWR about a cluster of five cases of a then-rare disease, Pneumocystis jirovecii, formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii, pneumonia, among previously healthy young men in Los Angeles, California.
