Hello all, I learned today of the death of Herbert Standing, who was a long-time, thoughtful, and thorough contributer to this list. I have not yet learned what the arrangements, but will happily pass them on when I learn them to anyone who contacts me off-list. -- Dan Treadway P. O.

Dan,   Thank you for posting the sad news about Herbert Standing to the list. I know this isn't strictly Quaker Genealogy, but to my mind Herbert Standing epitomized Quaker Genealogy. He was a very knowledgeable gentleman, and was very willing to share his great wealth of information of Quaker Genealogy with others, as exemplified by his postings to this list. I had the great privligdge to meet him at a few of the Genealogy Conferences at the Quaker Hill Conference Center and Earlham's Lilly Library, about ten years ago or so, the Conferences were so ably conducted by Tom Hamm. I would like to know of any arrangements. Please let me know of them off list.   Sincerely,   Tom   Thomas E.

His detailed and careful posts to this list were always of great value, as was his work abstracting the records of Wilmington (DE) MM. His Quaker care to seek the truth shone through. -- Chris Pitt Lewis
