IN MEMORIAM
Since our last Issue, we have learned of the passing of forty-seven Fellows.
Our departed Fellows were as young as seventy-five and as old as one hundred and three.
Twenty of these departed Fellows were veterans, eight of them having served in World War II.
Three were judges.
Two were D1 college-level athletes.
One knew Mohammed Ali.
Another witnessed the first test of an H-Bomb.
Still another decided to stay in the Reserves after his Army active duty, and rose to the rank of Brigadier General.

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.
