[1] William A. Laughlin

Bill Laughlin had been a long time member of the Los Alamos 
Sportsmen's Club and headed up the Skeet activities for several 
years.  He was an active bird hunter and made many hunting trips to 
Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Africa.  His license plate was 
BRDHNTR.  Bill's ashes will join those of his favorite hunting dog 
Bess, a chocolate lab, in their favorite quail hunting area in the 
southern part of New Mexico.  He served as an Officer in the Navy on 
the repair ship USS VULCAN AR-5.  Bill was a geochemist with a dry 
sense of humor.  A bumper sticker on his car read STRIP MINING 
PREVENTS FOREST FIRES.  Bill and his wife Yvonne lost their home in 
the fire.  He was able to evacuate with his guns but unfortunately 
lost all of his reloading and hunting equipment.  On his last hunting 
trip the airline lost two of his expensive Rizzini over/under 
shotguns that were never recovered.   Bill was an outstanding 
individual and will greatly missed by his many friends and fellow shooters.
