Dave Hemion (David Durand Hemion) died
(apparently in Lakewood) at age 62 on Nov. 8, 2010. Born Sept. 21, 1948, he
graduated from Lakes High School in Lakewood (Pierce County), Wash. in 1966 and Western Washington University (?in
1970?) in Bellingham. As did his brother, Whit,
and sister, Kathy, Dave played
basketball for the WWU Vikings. The three Hemions also played slowpitch
softball for top Tacoma clubs over the years. Dave liked to fish! The Aug. 31,
1986, Seattle Times reported,
"Dave Hemion of Tacoma caught a 31-pound, 10-ounce King salmon to emerge
as the first-day leader in the 49th annual Port Angeles Salmon Derby, which
concludes today."
