Abstract
In April we received the sad news of the death of Mario Muschi. The editor of the San Francisco-based Swiss Journal, Mr. Muschi had been a member of our society for many years and had served on our Board of Advisors. His obituary by his son Achille Muschi, reprinted in the Amerikanische Schweizer Zeitung of April 18, 1973, states that Mario Muschi was born in Tesserete (Ticino) in 1893 and came to this country in 1915. He spent his life in working for his beloved Swiss Journal with which he s erved the many Swiss on the West Coast. The Swiss colony and our society lose in him a sta lwart, dedicated friend. We join herewith the many mourners and express our feelings of sympathy and appreciation to his sons Achille and Louis who continue their father's work. Hopefully there will be an opportunity at some future time for us to write a full biography of this prominent American of Swiss origin.
