John Chorlton Manning, a longtime professor at the University of Minnesota, passed away on September 6 at the age of 80. Manning served as IRA President from 1985-1986 and continued as an active friend and major benefactor of the Association throughout his life. His deep interest in working with public schools led him to establish the IRA John Chorlton Manning Public School Service Award, a US$10,000 award for "professors of reading education who have demonstrated their commitment to public education." Over the years, Manning served on IRA committees, wrote for IRA publications, and spoke at IRA conferences at all levels. He received the Association's Outstanding Teacher Educator in Reading Award in 1989, and in 2010 he was inducted into the Association's President's Inner Circle for his "overwhelming generosity and his contributions to reading education and IRA." He is a member of the Reading Hall of Fame. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the John Chorlton Manning Educational Fund, U.S. Bank, Apache Office, Attn.: Sara Fellegy, 3928 Silver Lake Rd., St. Anthony, MN 55421.
