I was waiting to see if someone from LVA was going to post the death of Robert Young Clay, former archivist at LVA, artist, public speaker and friend to genealogists everywhere. There was a lengthy write-up on him at yesterday's Richmond Times-Dispatch.  The link to that article is:

His friend and executor William Bedwell summed it best at he end of the article when he said, "Wherever he went, he was always adopting people as family members and formed close relationships."

Craig Kilby (and very distant Clay cousin, which he never forgot to remind me of)
