For those who weren't aware, Merle Wells, former
Idaho State Historian, State Archivist, State Historic Preservation Officer and
Fellow of the SAA, and friend and mentor to many in Idaho, recently passed away
from the effects of advanced prostate cancer. His obituary is at http://www2.state.id.us/ishs/News.html
Quiet and unassuming, his influence was profound
and he will missed by the many whose lives he touched.
