In Memoriam:

Drs. E. Tom Thorne and Elizabeth S. Williams died in a tragic accident while traveling from Laramie to Ft. Collins on December 29^th, 2004.

 With their passing, the wildlife health and veterinary world lost two of its brightest stars.

We also lost two of our hardest working, most dedicated, funniest and finest friends.

They were two of the founders of AAWV.

There is much to say about Tom and Beth in memoriam, but that will have to wait until we have time to mourn their loss and appreciate the meaning of their lives.
