I am sad to share that Dr. Sande McNabb

The following information is from the Ames

Sande had friends throughout the world.
In addition to being a classic forest pathologist, he personally
touched the lives of many students. One of his passions in life was
promoting the legacy of Dr. George Washington Carver, including encouraging
opportunities for minorities to realize the full potential of their contributions
to science and humanity. To this end, Margo and their children intend
to establish a specially named memorial fund at ISU to assist with continuation
of this legacy. Contributions to the Iowa State University Foundation
in Memory of Sande McNabb will go toward this purpose. [the website
