On December 18, 2003, we lost Jay Bell, a Sunstone friend and independent researcher who spent the last years of life working for the preservation of gay Mormon history. Jay helped start a collection of gay Mormon materials at the archives of the University of Utah and created a GLBT Studies CD-ROM that he shared with friends and fellow researchers. In this session we will celebrate Jay’s life and his important contributions to LDS research. Attendees will be invited to share some of their own reminiscences as time allows.
