Isogeochemists:

I have some very sad news to relate, for the Dartmouth and mineral deposit
communities especially.  A local TV station here in Albany has reported
that professors Half Zantop and his wife, Suzanne, were found dead in their
home last night.  I have not been able to confirm this with another source,
nor do I have any more information at this time.
