Doug, My condolences to the Brown family. I have fond memories of your father, especially the time he took me, you and others on a guided trip of NYC in high school. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and a contagious curiosity of the world around him. I learned of his passing in the recent SLU Alumni magazine. Hope you are all well, my best regards, Martha Vining

Sally: Severn was one of my special SME colleagues. We saw each other only at the Annual meetings but always had a good chat about something interesting. I was sorry to read of his death in the current Mining Engineering magazine. I hope that he gets a full obituary in the magazine. LeeJT54

Dear Sally, I did not know of Severn's passing till today. I am glad we talked about my feelings on Severn, who would on occasion stop in the Historian's office with a question, and ask for some photos for his son to print out models of the buildings in Canton. It seems like that was just a month or so ago. We always would talk about geology and the USGS as my son Justin was a geologist and worked for the USGS after college. He gave me some rocks one day for my granddaughters and they loved them. He was right about aging and he definitely had "a good run." I will miss him and our conversations....No one can take his memories away....

My condolences to the Brown family. While working with Doug he shared a few humorous stories about his Dad, mostly around his challenges with newer technology. Thoughts and prayers to all his friends and family. -Fred O
