WWHA regrets to announce the death of another of our charter members: Frederick William "Fred" Nolan (born March 7, 1931 in Liverpool) passed away at his home in Chalfont St. Giles, United Kingdom on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, at the age of 91.

The WWHA Journal will publish a tribute to Nolan in the September 2022 issue. Any WWHA member is invited to submit their memories of Fred, or a tribute to him, and any pictures of him, alone or in a group, by sending it to Journal editor Roy B. Young, royyoung@pldi.net. Deadline for submissions is July 1st. NOTE: we cannot publish every picture but will use as many as space allows.

Additionally, a tribute to historian/author Robert M. Utley will be part of the September issue. Bob was never a member of WWHA, but we want to honor his accomplishments in the field of Western American history. Tributes to Bob will also be welcome and must be submitted by July 1st.
