For those of you who have not heard the sad news. We lost our good friend and associate Michael French yesterday to a tragic accident. This is a terrible loss. Michael was simply a terrific person, a talented archaeologist, and a loving father and husband. This loss affects us all. It is times like this when we realize what a close and supportive professional community we have in Kentucky. Michael will be greatly missed by so many. So many memories to share, so many great stories to retell. Read his full obituary.
