I am sad to have to let members on this list know that our colleague,
Melburn D. Thurman, has passed away. Mel was 70 years old (1941-2012)
and lost a battle with cancer on Wednesday April 11, 2012. Thurman
still had a house in Ste Genevieve, Missouri but had for some time
been living in Tucson, Arizona.
Mel had very wide interests in archaeology and anthropology but did
his most important work on the ethnohistory of North America.
He is survived by his son, John P. Thurman, and his daughter, Tanya
E. Thurman. Notes of condolence may be sent to:
Tanya Thurman
