| An EA member wrote that Professor Emeritus Clyde Adam Jones, UCONN School of Home Economics and Family Studies, had died. The obituary was in the Willimantic Chronicle on 12/31/08. It was again in the Hartford Courant on 1/1/09 and may be viewed on line at http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=LS000122069038X.
Professor Jones was a long time member of the assembly and attended the meetings regularly, possibly since the assembly's founding, until just two or three years ago. He was well known for his art work as well as his teaching. His presence will be missed. |
