Them Days founding editor passes away

Canadian Press reports that Doris Saunders, the founding editor of Them Days magazine and widely recognized for her work to preserve the history of Labrador, has died in St. John's at the age of 64.

The magazine and its archival annex have become a Labrador institution and are often described as among the best collections of material about Labrador.

Saunders was inducted into the Order of Canada in 1986 and received an honorary degree from Newfoundland's Memorial University in 1994.
