Members of The Society:

I have some sad news to share with you all.

We have recently learned of the passing of the Society Webminister, Lord Markus der Jäger (Uwe M. Donaldson).

Uwe was a long time, extremely dedicated member of the Society, and held a variety of offices before taking the office of Society Webminister.

Although his tenure was short, it was extremely fruitful. His zest for the role and his work in helping the Society was clear and earnest.

Thank you, sir. You will be sorely missed.

In service,

Aaron Palomides of Buckminster (mka Aaron Rusty Lloyd)
VP, Information Technology, SCA Inc.
