Laura Forman: A Tribute

Laura Forman, OVEC's organizer and a driving force behind man citizens groups' efforts, died suddenly on Dec. 10, 2001, during a rally at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Huntington to protest mountaintop removal mining. She was 39.

She and her husband, Mike, moved to the area from New York in 1992 and almost immediately became involved in several environmental issues in the Tri-State. Laura and Mike have one son, Donald, age 5. A portion of this issue of E-Notes is dedicated to her life, her spirit and her memory.
