Dear class—
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Tom Kane’s passing. He was a dear friend and a gentle soul who loved LOUD! music. Tom was a faithful ally with a dry wit who would never push himself on anyone, but he was always there for you, whenever you needed him. I will miss his gracious, easy-going manner and his loving acceptance. I will miss his constant defense of the Ducks and his dedication to Jerry Garcia’s music. In short, I will miss him.

Yet for anyone willing to look past the sunny California Girl image, Kimzey Van Siclen, who died earlier this month at the too-young age of 59, was so much more -- a fiercely loyal friend who gladly sacrificed her own needs to help others, a loving daughter who helped care for her own parents, Maragret and William, in their later years and a cherished (though sometimes vexing) "little sister" to the rest of Van Siclen clan.
Let the record show that Kimzey was born on Jan. 28, 1961 in downtown Los Angeles, stood just under five-and-a-half-feet tall and was named for her...
