KEYES, Larry
Death of one of the Seventh Regiment.—A deplorable accident occurred at Camp Cameron on the 9th, resulting in the death of Larry Keyes, of the Seventh Regiment of New York. The deceased stooped to pick something up near a place where a number of guns had been stacked, and as he was in the act of rising the stack was accidentally struck and one gun exploded, the load taking effect in his body, killing him almost instantly. Col. Lefferts caused the remains to be placed in a metallic case for transmission to New York. He next day dispatched thither an officer to personally communicate intelligence of the sad event to the relatives of Mr. Keyes. Mr. Keyes was a salesman in the store of Pearce & Co., of Franklin street. He was in his twenty-seventh year, and much respected. He was married only two days before he left New York.

Iris Costikyan Kinnard passed away on July 7, 2009, in Storrs, Connecticut. She was the widow of William N. Kinnard, Jr.
Born in New York City to Simon and Thelma Costikyan, just weeks after the crash of 1929, she grew up “without two nickels to rub together” but surrounded by a loving extended family. After graduating from Horace Mann School, she attended Swarthmore College where she met her beloved “Willie” whom she married in 1949. After moving to Middletown, Connecticut,
the couple had two children, Susan and Jeffrey. In 1955 the family moved to Storrs where Bill had been hired by the University of Connecticut. There began an amazing number of friendships and relationships, both personal and professional, many of which continued until the day she died. Iris served on the Board of Education and the Democratic Town Committee and was actively involved in the League of Women Voters, among many other activities. She returned to school earning a Master’s degree in English in 1967. Shortly thereafter she became one of the original staff members of CONNPEP (now CONNCAP), a new program designed to prepare inner-city high school students for college. She worked for CONNPEP in various capacities, ultimately as its Director, until her retirement in 1991. Helping young people was a true calling for her. Iris enjoyed the social and cultural aspects of living in a college community. She loved attending plays and concerts, playing bridge, and travelling, dining and talking with her friends, of whom she had many. It is unlikely that the UCONN women’s basketball team had a more devoted fan. She was marvelously generous with her time, money and heart, being willing to do almost
anything for anyone. She kept in touch with many of her former students and colleagues and was incredibly proud of their accomplishments. She had many cousins and delighted in their company. Her particular joy was her grandchildren, Amanda, Nathaniel, Rebecca and Julia Jones, and Jason, Adam and Elizabeth Kinnard whom, along with her own children and their
spouses Bruce and Andrea, she loved with absolute abandon. Her enthusiasm and generosity gave great joy to all who knew her. A memorial celebration of Iris’s life will be held at Zenny’s Restaurant in Storrs on August 9, 2009, at 1:00 p.m.
