BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, USA - I received this sad news from several sources in the last few days.

I am sure everyone's thoughts go out to our classmate Mike Coon.

Here is the obituary information from the Jamestown Post-Journal.

Nancy's father was a federal survey engineer and pipeline construction inspector, so consequently in her early childhood she lived in various locations across the southwest, from Texas to California.
