>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.
