[Valaria McCabe]

Katie,  my husband, Doug McCabe has been a member of SOA and I need to tell
you he has passed away.   He was the Manuscript’s Archivist at the Ohio
University.   He has been retired for 10 years but there may be people that
knew him and would like to know of his passing after a short diagnosis of
cancer.  He died September 11th.  His obituary is on the Frank E. Smith
Funeral Home in Lancaster, website .
