I received this from Barbara Ashby, and have sent it to our NWMHC email list. Thought I would share the sad news w/all of you, too.
I really enjoyed Austin at the Fair, and he was always so fun to have around.
We will always miss him. I am sure many of you knew and liked him. He sure could run a show!
"We have received word that Austin Van Wyck, Jr. suffered a fatal heart attack early this morning. Those of you who have attended the horse shows at the Oregon State Fair will know that he has been the Manager for all the equine activities at the Fair for many years. He was a Miniature Horse Breeder from Arizona and took a special interest in having the Miniature Horse presented at this event. A memorial service will be held in the Main Arena at the State Fairgrounds in Salem on Wednesday, August 31st at 6:00 p.m. His son was one of our judges at the recent Central Point shows.
