A memorial service was held on Sept. 14 for SILS alumna Dr. April Bohannan (Ph.D. Library Science, 1995), a former assistant professor of the School of Library and Information Studies of Texas Woman's University.

Known for her deep understanding of information organization issues, her interest in information taxonomies, her warm teaching, and her sardonic sense of humor, April will be missed by many. She suffered from colon cancer which moved rapidly through her
system.

She is survived by her two sons: Kevin Schlipper of Virginia and Mark Schlipper of Seattle. Her mother suggests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the charity of your choice or the Bethany United Methodist Church building fund (Box 77, Reedville, VA 22539).
