I just learned that Malcolm "Mose" Hastings, a dedicated FSP member and Organizer, has been killed in an accident. Mose was a CPA who advised and assisted FSP Treasurers past and present very capably. He also briefly served as interim Treasurer himself. He was a joy to have around on the Organizers list and to work with. Here is some information on his memorial service from the family:
Dear All-

My family and I thank you for your outpour of condolences and support. We

I'm sad to hear I won't have the opportunity to meet him. He sounds like a good man to have known.

I just went through some of my e-mails to and from "mose". What a terrific guy and a sad loss to lose him. I remember a pivotal time when Malcolm stood up for someone and encouraged everyone to forgive her and to consider her strengths and dedication at a time when that person had made a simple mistake that led to much criticism. That person went from near-pariah to president shortly thereafter. And then the time someone mistakenly made some serious allegations against him publically and he responded with the true facts politely and forgivingly in such a way as to end all suspicion. One quote that he really liked and shared several times was this: Patrick Henry was right when he commented on the constitution "this thing is written as though good men will take office. Rest in Peace, Malcolm |

What was his forum name?
He never posted on the forum, but he did read it occasionally. |

Is your home page set to a Google News search of "Free State Project", sorted by date, also?  We seem to hit the same news. It's very complimentary of him and has many replies from people. Thanks for posting it, Jason. |
