The deaths of two other friends to cryptozoology have been brought to my attention.
George W. Maugans, Jr., 94, who had been involved in various archaeological and anthropological investigations, including Bigfoot studies, died during 2006.
The Baltimore Sun published his death notice last year:
George William Maugans Jr.
On November 17, 2006, George William Maugans, Jr., born September 17, 1912, in Maugansville, MD, [died]. A life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, he was on the Chief Engineers Staff in the construction of the Safe Harbor hydroelectric dam on the Susquehanna River. He was later employed by the Comsat corporation and was on the team that launched the first commercial communications satellite, and later served as a consultant in the nuclear power industry. Working with the Pennsylvania Archeology Society, he recovered numerous ancient Indian artifacts and rock carvings from the Susquehanna river basin that are now on display at the Pennsylvania State Museum at Harrisburg, PA. He served as Curator of Herpetology and Archeology of the Maryland Natural History Society and researched ancient Native American sites in Maryland. He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Evelyn Taylor Maugins, and a son, George, an attorney with the Department of Homeland Security.
Also, Lt. Colonel Woodrow W. “Lou” Corbin, 93, was the retired Deputy Superintendent & Chief of Field Operations for the Maryland State Police, died on New Year’s Day, 2006.
In recent years, both Maugins and Corbin were associated with investigators of the Eastern Puma Research Network, and great friends of director John Lutz. Our condolences to John and the Maugans and Corbin families.
