Emily H Wright, 94, was born on May 18, 1918 and passed away on Dec. 16, 2012 on Mercer Island.

A memorial service for Wright will be held in February.

(Ed. Note: An earlier version regrettably mentioned a memorial service had taken place on Dec. 18. In fact, a memorial service is planned for Feburary. Mercer Island Patch regrets the error.)

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.…Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.
