Hello all - The WAF has created this forum as a way to remember those collectors from this forum who have passed away and made a positive difference to the collecting community.
What we have come up with is when a fellow member passes away who was in good standing with the collecting community and this forum. A thread will be started with members leaving a comment and the thread will remain active for as long as needed. As the thread is updated, a MOD of this forum will update the first post of the ongoing thread to arrange the thread so that it is cleaned and organized as needed. We also put together a format to best assist the the membership in hopes to make it easier in formatting the thread for others to read.
Sample Format:
Name of WAF collector and membership level: John Doe 24Sep43 - 02Mar09
Known background of collector: Retired from the military in 1975
Collecting interests: Iron crosses, tunics and helmets
Articles, books published or other achievements:

Lastly, this forum is for you all, so if you have any comments or suggestions to improve this forum please let me or another MOD know via PM. We want to make sure forum members get there say, however please be respectful of those who have passed away, thanks.
