This obit was in my local paper yesterday and knowing that there are many Zook
researchers on these lists will post it in the hopes that it will be of help to
someone doing this research. I am not researching Zook personally. There is a
photo of Mr. Zook included in the article, which I will be happy to scan and
send to anyone writing to me personally for it. It is a very small photo but
very clear. Nancy Giles
