This special issue of BSSA is dedicated to Keiti Aki, a founding father of both SCEC and the Phase III initiative and of site-response studies in general. In fact, his name appears more than any other in the reference list of the overview article. His modesty in light of a distinguished and prolific career represents a degree of excellence to which we all aspire.
