| | News Brief: Thomas D. Clark, AHA's Oldest Member, Passes Away |
 | | Flags flew at half-mast over Kentucky's Capitol in honor of historian and long-standing AHA member, Thomas Dionysius Clark, who died on June 28 at the age of 101, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. |
 | | Clark, who was the Historian Laureate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, was recently honored by the AHA (at its 118th annual meeting held in January 2004 in Washington, D.C.) by the conferral of the Association's Award for Scholarly Distinction. |
 | | In between those dates, Tom Clark has written or edited more than 30 additional works, virtually all of them outstanding examples of his view that historians must tell an engaging, important, and readable story, accessible to all. |
