IN MEMORIAM
Since our last Issue, we have learned of the passing of thirty Fellows.
Our thirty departed Fellows ranged in age from sixty-nine – way too young – to ninety-seven – three were ninety-seven – and that’s still a bit too soon. Ten of these departed Fellows were veterans, three of them having served in World War II. Two were judges. Four were college athletes. They will all be missed.
We can only honor those we know have passed, when we know. We do not charge retired Fellows dues, so we don’t think much about not hearing from them. So if you learn of the passing of a Fellow, please be sure that the National Office Staff is informed.
These pieces are necessarily brief. We don’t have space to list all surviving family members, so we name only spouses; we count, but do not name children or grandchildren. And some of these pieces are way too brief – not because of editorial discretion but because we simply could not find the facts. Yet every one of our departed Fellows left scores of family and friends who will miss and remember them. Through those memories, these Fellows live on.
