Read MoreI entered Portland State University in the Fall Term of 1968 and took the first and second year Russian language classes taught by Professor D'Ermengard. Mrs Vaughnan took these classes and as I recall, she had a natural ability for learning Russian. It is not surprising to me that she was able to accomplish so much during her lifetime. Her husband and family have my deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Vaughan was a lovely lady. She enjoyed coming to the Salon at terwilliger plaza and we were pleased to be of service to her. We will fondly remember her gentle and kind manner. Blessings to Mr. Vaughan and his family. Edith Spickerman, Salon Manager.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Tom and the family. Sherry was an inspiration during a period of time that could've been most unpleasant had it not been for her presence and wisdom. Our lives have been enriched by her, and we will never forget her. She was truly one of the "Lions of St Mark".
