Daniel Longwell, who co-founded LIFE magazine with Henry Luce, and subsequently became its Executive Editor, writes to the distinguished photojournalist, “To Alfred Eisenstaedt--Whom I first asked to join “LIFE” when “LIFE“ was still only an idea. Since then any idea of LIFE without 'Eisie' has been impossible.” Eisenstaedt remained on LIFE's staff for 36 years, until 1972, when the magazine ceased publication.
