Summer music camps lose a friend

Word has been received of the passing of UW-Green Bay alumnus John R. Hinkley, 61, of Park Falls, who earned his degree here in 1973 in Music Education. He taught instrumental music in Hilbert before moving to Park Falls in 1985 as the high school band director. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s he was a popular staff member – starting as the head counselor – for the UW-Green Bay summer music camps. There’s a full obituary online.
