<div>I just received this sad news. Ann was a longtime Professor of Anthropology here. She moved to Auckland when she retired. Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalised. What can we do to express our condolences?

<div>Dear Hal, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure if you have heard that Ann Chowning passed away last night. Judy Huntsman just called me to let me know. Not many details at this point, but I gather that they think she contracted pneumonia. I was sure that you and the department would want
to know the news. Could you please let the department know and any other old friends from Vic.? Thank you.
