Norman L. Vaughn, Sr., of Warwick, RI, has died at the age of 91. He was a charter and honorary member, and past president of the national Architectural Woodworking Institute, and he was also a past president of our own New England Chapter of AWI.
Mr. Vaughn was born in Providence, RI, and graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1939 with a degree in chemical engineering, a field in which he was the co-holder of patents. He was also a co-author of the AWI Quality Woodwork Standards, and Fire Codes.
Our thoughts are with his family, and his son, Norman L. "Woody" Vaughn, Jr., of our chapter.
The complete obituary from the Providence Journal (7/29/08) may be found here, and a PDF of it is available here.
