Clifford Wallace—who was to be the organization's next president—passed away on Monday, October 27, as a result of health problems that began last spring. A funeral service was held near Wallace's olive farm outside of Sydney, Australia, on Saturday, November 1, and a memorial service will be held during the Special Event trade show in Las Vegas in January.
