Dear Colleagues, > > The AER International Conference is fast approaching, and the History and Memorial Committee would like to ask for your assistance in recognizing our friends and colleagues who have passed away during the last biennium. We have lost many wonderful people over the last two years, each of whom helped us Connect, Collaborate, and Achieve so much. > Please review the Memorial List below and let us know if we have missed anyone. If you know of someone who has passed away since January of 2014 and you do not see that person’s name below, please email history@aerbvi.org <mailto:history@aerbvi.org> and give the person’s name, state/province/country in which he/she resided, date of passing, and a link to the obituary, if possible. We need this information no later than July 10 in order to prepare the memorial list for presentation at the opening session of the conference. > > First Name > Last Name > State/Province/Country > Date > Brenda > Alexander > Illinois > NEED DATE > Deborah > Armbruster > Pennsylvania > 05/19/2016 > Josina > Bakker > Virginia > 04/09/2015 > George > Ball > Massachusetts > 05/26/2016 > Natalie > Barraga > Texas > 12/29/2014 > Ward > Bond > Louisana > 11/29/2015 > Oraien > Catledge > Texas and Georgia > 01/27/2015 > Jules > Cote > Vermont > 11/17/2014 > Karen > Dutkowsky > New York > 03/05/2016 > Ruby Shirley > Eschen > Nebraska > 01/21/2015 > Kenneth > Funk > California > 05/12/2015 > Veronica "Ronnie" > Gilligan > New York > 08/22/2015 > Fred > Gissoni > Kentucky > 09/21/2014 > Donna > Gray > Texas > 02/17/2014 > Jordan > Gray > Texas > 10/17/2014 > Raymond > Griess > South Dakota > 03/09/2014 > Phil > Hatlen > California and Texas > 01/14/2016 > Ramon J. > Kuhns > Illinois > 11/27/2015 > Peggy > Madera > Illinois > 05/15/ 2015 > Mary Jo > Martinez > Arizona > 09/19/2015 > John > Maxson > California > 08/23/2015 > Robert > Mills > Ohio > 09/10/2015 > Ken > Neve > Colorado > 06/25/2016 > Kathleen > Newman > Nebraska > 12/16/2015 > Ralph > Peabody > Pennsylvania > 05/23/2016 > Greg > Rowe > Alabama > 05/11/2015 > Robert > Savage > Michigan > 11/19/2015 > Carrie Lee > Slater > Mississippi > 08/27.2015 > Grant > Townsend > New Zealand > 02/15/2015 > Jean Ann > Vogelman > Pennsylvania > 10/28/2015 > Richard "Rick" > Welsh > Pennsylvania > 09/13/2014 > Randy > Witte > Colorado > 03/03/2015 > > Thank you for your help. > Sincerely, > Your 2014-2016 AER History and Memorial Committee > > Gala Brooks (IL) > Billy Brookshire (TX) > Julie Hapeman (WI) > Bill Jacobson (AZ) > Brittany Larkin (PA) > Mary Nelle McLennan (PA) >
