I went to NSC at the same time as and was a friend of Vance. I saw his obituary in the Aberdeen newspaper and it brought back a flood of memories of college, including playing cards in the “Wolves’ Den” and listening to Vance tell stories and jokes. He truly was a character and will be missed.
Dear Family
