Gladys Bowles (posted 6 Jan 10)
We are saddened to report that SDA founding member Gladys Bowles passed away on November 27, 2009, at the age of 92. The good news is that her legacy will carry on: we have been notified by the attorney for her estate that she left a substantial bequest for SDA. Let us all be thankful for the mentoring, kindness, and stewardship of Gladys Bowles. She will surely be missed.

Ugly fix for Internet Explorer 6 (posted 21 Jun 08)
After weeks of effort, I have given up trying to re-write a second version
of the SDA web site that will work with Internet Explorer 6. Instead, IE6 users
will get an ugly-but-functional version without formatting.
I apologize to IE6
users, but it turns out that tricking IE6 into working properly is a full-time
job for many web programmers, and we just don't have the volunteer resources
to do it. In addition to its formatting bugs, IE6 also has numerous security
problems. Upgrade to IE7
or Firefox if you can. [Carl Schmertmann, webmaster]
