The Van Buren Music Department family is saddened today to learn of the loss of Mr. James P. Scothorn's wife, Peg Scothorn, who passed away this morning. Mr. Scothorn was an integral part of the development of the Van Buren Music Department, where his love of music and his dedication to his students is still felt today. Peg Scothorn was a huge supporter of music here at Van Buren, attending every concert and musical that she could attend, and helping out at many of the events held here while Mr. Scothorn was director.
