The following were also sent to me from Debbie if anyone knows of a connection please post back to the list. Thanks, Gwen Hi I wanted to share two obits my father-in-law sent me. His sister Jean lives in Philadelphia and likes reading the obituaries so cut out the following two Renshaw obits. We have no idea who they are. My father-in-law says they were in one of the more recent newspapers, which one and when I don't know but can find out. Claude Renshaw, 93, the city manager who helped make Miami Beach, Fla, on eof the nation's best-known resorts died Monday night in West Palm Beach where he lived with his son, Downer. He was born in Iowa. His first public-service job was as mayor of Roundup, Mont. He came to Miami Beach in 1925 and promptly was elected city manager. He held the post until 1958. He guided Miami Beach through the Depression, when it narrowly escaped default, and through World War II, when some of its finest hotels were pressed into duty as military quarters. After the war, he helped make the city one of the world's most famous vacation spots. He later left public service to head the Miami Beach Savings & Loan Association. -------------------------------------------- William Wiley Renshaw, Sr., 96, a retired principal and well-respected educator, died August 24, 2000 in Bremerton, Washington where he resided since 1985.
