Domnern Garden died in Bangkok during the last week of January. He
lived over half a century in Thailand, an American graduate of Harvard
Law School who created a very successful career as a lawyer, and was, to
my knowledge, the first Westerner to pass the Thai bar exam.
Domnern was fascinated by dictionaries, and published a fine Thai-English
dictionary which he compiled and edited with Sathienpong Wannapok; it has
been reprinted several times. Domnern also translated Thai
literature, including his well-known translation of <i>The Politician and
Other Stories</i>, by Khamsing Srinawk. Domnern Garden was an
inimitable, irascible, charming and brilliant man who will be much
missed. He is survived by his wife and two children, in
Bangkok. Susan Kepner</body>
