making a distinction

In reading one of 3wlarry's threads a moment ago, I realized (have done so on other occasions ) that some (new) guys may not know that He is no longer with us. Could you guys, the Mods, add something like " The late Larry Roller" to their name below their avatar for those we've lost. I've even read threads and all of a sudden realized that this Hamber is not with us now. Hope this is not to hokey but a real concern. Tim

 

Ted Brown is another we have lost.

 

Member Emeritus has been placed on his avatar.

 

Yes sir,a term of respect.

Basically the ***le is bestowed after one has retired or no longer teaching,the word Emeritus is Latin and means "veteran soldier". HRP
