Millican, Anna Jane Derrick
On 12 June 2001, Anna Jane Derrick Millican, age 71, graduated from the bonds of earth to join her Heavenly Father. She was a loving mother, wife, teacher, and friend. She was an honor student at Myra Winkler Grade School, Ysleta High, and College of Mines (UTEP) and got her Masters Degree from the University of New Mexico. When she finished her continuing formal education, she was six hours short of a PHD but thought such additional education would be irrelevant to the high schoolers she was teaching. As a master teacher for 30 years, she never met a student she didn't love. She taught in El Paso, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Albuquerque, NM, Honolulu, HI, and Weatherford, TX. While she taught Shakespeare with passion and verve, her greatest achievement may have come when she taught the roots, suffixes, and prefixes of English words to groups of kids who were previous drop- outs, dopers, and under achievers. They all passed (some with 100's) the same test that other kids in accelerated classes did not. Though she retired from formal teaching, she was an exciting and animated teacher for many beginning quilters in the Enchanted Quilters of Alamogordo. Also, she won county, state, and international quilting awards as well as publishing numerous 'how-to' articles in national quilting magazines. After a year long courageous fight with cancer, she passed peacefully knowing that she had done her best. She lived her life for others. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Jim, 2 daughters and their husbands; Jamie Millican and Thomas Cottrell; Karen Millican and David Newlander and grandson Hunter Newlander; son David Millican; sister Sue Gage; brothers Kenneth and Billy Derrick; and numerous relatives and friends around the world. There will be a Memorial Service at the High Rolls Methodist Church on 18 June at 10:00 am for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations in her name may be made to the Alamogordo Hospice, 505 East 11th, Alamogordo, NM 88310, or the Paragon Foundation, dedicated to preserving our individual freedoms, 100 North White Sands Blvd. #110, Alamogordo, NM 88310.

Cook, Dr. Clarence Sharp
passed away on June 12, 2001 at 7:30 in the morning, just shy of 83 years of age. His wife, Marian Waring Cook, was by his side at the time of death. He is survived by his wife; his daughter, Sherma Cook; his son and his son's family, Wayne, Diana, Matthew, and Aaron Cook; two cousins and their husbands, Paul and Anne Demitriades and Johnny and Pat Watson; and four nieces and their families; Steve and Ronnie Hardin, Jim and Sheila Lotspeich, Rami and Yvonne Gonzalez, and Ferdi and Diane de Souza. His family and friends will miss him for his loving compassion and sense of humor. C. Sharp and Marian came to El Paso in 1970 so that C. Sharp could be head of the Physics Department at UTEP. He worked in that department until retirement. C. Sharp has been very active in the community, including helping start the public television station and working to help improve the nuclear medicine facilities here in El Paso. He also established the C. Sharp Cook Professorship/Chair for Physics at the University of Texas at El Paso. The community will miss him for his generosity. C. Sharp Cook was born in St. Louis Crossing, Indiana on August 18, 1918. He was born to Clarence Conner and Musa Gladys Cook. He went to Hope High School, where he had the privilege of having his father for a teacher. Unfortunately, his father died of cancer two days before Christmas when C. Sharp was a senior in college. C. Sharp went on to complete a Bachelors degree at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana and an MS in Physics at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. His education was interrupted by service in the Army in World War II, where he met and married Marian Norma Waring while stationed in Reno, Nevada. They were blessed with Sherma while he was stationed in Australia and variou islands in the Pacific Theater. He enlisted in September 1942 and was discharged on February 1946 as Captain Cook at Camp Beale, CA. He then completed his Ph.D, in Physics at IU. During his time at IU, Wayne came along. As a career, C. Sharp taught Physics at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. He then moved to the San Francisco bay area where he managed various divisions at the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at Hunters Point, San Francisco, CA. During this time, he worked at several nuclear tests For how to protect people from radiation during a nuclear explosion and fallout. He also helped out with his son's Boy Scout troop, even though he said he had had more than enough camping during WWII in the Army. Following his work with the Navy, he came to UTEP. During his tenure at UTEP, and throughout his reirement, he was an avid UTEP basketball fan. He also spent much of his retirement researching his and his wife's ancestors. His physics training was invaluable in helping him trace back his and Marian's family trees many generations. We will miss his enthusiasm for genealogical research. C. Sharp is a member of Sigma XI, Phi Beta Kappa, American Physical Society, American Association of Physics Teachers, and the University Presbyterian Church. We will all miss C. Sharp, Dad/ Nannad (the name his grandsons gave him) /Uncle/Friend) dearly. We appreciate all of your kind thoughts and prayers. If you would like to do something in remembrance of C. Sharp Cook, please do not send flowers. In lieu of flowers, please give to the Cancer Research charity of choice or to the Clarence Sharp Cook Professorship/Chair in Physics at the University of Texas. Visitation will be Friday 11:00 - 2:00 p.m. at Harding Orr & McDaniel Funeral Home with a graveside service at 2:30 p.m. at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. A memorial service is planned for Saturday 10:00 a.m. at University Presbyterian Church with Rev. T. Jeffreys Mitchiner.

He then attended the University of Texas, where he was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration in 1941. He served in the Army Air Corps from 1941-1945, first as a flight leader and squadron operations officer and instructor, then in the European theatre as a P-51 fighter pilot, earning the distinction of "fighter ace" after shooting down 7 enemy aircraft, the only native El Pasoan to earn that distinction. He also earned two Distinguished Service Cross medals, 11 Air Medals and the French Croix de Guerre. Bill was in recent years inducted into the El Paso Aviation Hall of Fame and honored by the Amigo Airsho for his war record. After his discharge from the service as a Major, Bill returned to El Paso and joined Crombie & Company, a produce company, serving as it's president until 1955, after which he owned and operated Speedmart, Inc., a chain of eight convenience stores. He also founded and operated Montana Mining Company, a successful restaurant chain, for many years. Bill was active in civic and social organizations in the community. An avid golfer, he served as a director at the El Paso Country Club and later served as President of Coronado Country Club.
