Sad News - Passing of William Hanchett

[L Verge]

I spoke with Bill's son today. His father passed away on July 22 from septic pneumonia and a general failing of the vital organs. He was 94.

They are now in the process of deciding where to start in dealing with Bill's many papers and research files. Since he retired as professor emeritus in history from San Diego State University after thirty years of teaching there, we agreed that the university should be contacted about establishing a Hanchett Collection as part of its library system.

If I learn more, I'll pass it on.
