We are sad to relay news of the passing of Sally de Vries (1940–2026), widow of noted archaeologist Bert de Vries (1939–2021) and mother of Jenna de Vries Morton, who serves on ACOR’s Board of Trustees. Sally was ACOR’s administrative director (1988–1991) and also, for eight seasons, administrative director of the excavations that her husband oversaw at Umm el-Jimal. Together she and Bert generously established a fellowship at ACOR and donated hundreds of slides to our digital archive. We join her family and other friends in mourning. She will be missed.
