Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 The following notice is in today's IVU-VegNews: Dear Vegetarian Community: It is with great sadness that I convey that Donald Watson, who coined the word " vegan " and founded the world's first vegan organization in 1944 -- aptly named The Vegan Society -- has died. Watson passed away on Wednesday evening at his north England home after a brief illness. He was 95. Funeral arrangements are still being arranged. The Watson Family requests privacy while details are sorted out. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
