Talk about members

              concerning the printing of the
Accounting Historians Notebook at our
December 1991 meeting.
22. Maureen Berry announced that Pro­fessor
Anne Fortin of the Universite
du Quebec a Montreal has been
selected as the recipient of the Richard
G. Vangermeersch Manuscript Award
for 1991. The title of her manuscript
is "The 1947 French Accounting Plan:
Origins and influences on Subsequent
Practice."
23. Lee Parker will correspond with Tony
Tinker regarding any surplus earned
on the CPE session.
24. Richard Vangermeersch nominated
Dr. Williard E. Stone (Professor
Emeritus - University of Florida) for
life membership. The motion was
seconded and passed unanimously.
His many contributions will appear in
the Fall issue of the Accounting
Historians Notebook.
25. Tom Nessinger suggested that we
establish a Council of Past Presidents
(the immediate past president would
be the chairperson) to provide input
for critical issues. Gary Previts pointed
out that Al Roberts started a past
presidents luncheon which is held
each year during the AAA meeting. If
the immediate past president would
assume the responsibility each year, it
could energize the gathering and
provide valuable input as Nessinger
suggests.
26. The meeting adjourned at 12 noon.
TALK ABOUT MEMBERS
Listed below are some news about
members of the Academy which have
come to the attention of the editor. Unfor­tunately,
much of the activity, awards, and
publications of members is not com­municated
to others, thus, due recognition
of our colleagues is lacking. Please let the
editor know about presentations which
involve accounting history, of awards or
recognitions received, or new positions
taken, and of your published accounting
history research in non-Academy pub­lications.
GARNER CITED
Dr. Paul Garner was the recipient of the
1991 Presidential Citation from Beta
Gamma Sigma. Dr. Garner was recognized
with this honor at the National Honoree
Luncheon on April 23, 1991. This is only
the second Beta Gamma Sigma
Presidential Citation Award. The first was
issued to the late Richard Irwin.
STONE GIVEN LIFE
At the August 1991 meeting of Officers
and Trustees of the Academy, Dr. Williard
E. Stone was elected to Life Membership
of the Academy of Accounting Historians
in recognition of his long service to the
Academy and to the community of
scholars in Accounting History. Dr. Stone
was one of the founders of the Academy in
1973, a Trustee for 1975-76, co-editor of
the Accounting History Journal for 1977-
80, and recipient of the Hourglass Award
in 1982. He received his Ph.D. from the
Wharton School in 1957 and was the
long-time Chairman of the Accounting
Department of the University of Florida.
