Richard John Branaugh, 53, a longtime resident of Redmond, died July 20, 1995 
in Redmond following a long illness.

A memorial service will be held in the Redmond High School auditorium on July

He was born June 10, 1942 in Rapid City, S.D. to George and Irene (Schaeffer)

After a year of teaching at Redmond High School, Mr. Branaugh spent two years

coaches as the Oregon Coach of the Year for girls basketball.  In 1986, he
