Eugene Quinn, retired director of the Kentucky Baptist Convention church music department, died March 9 at age 84.

Quinn suffered a brain injury during a fall from the stage of the KBC evangelism conference March 1. He was leaving the stage of Valley View Baptist Church in Louisville after singing with the Kentucky Baptist Men's Chorale. He died one week later at University of Louisville Hospital from complications related to the accident.

Quinn served more than 40 years as a denominational music leader, including nine years as director of the Illinois Baptist State Association's church music department and then nearly 32 years as director of the KBC church music department. He retired in 1988.

Curtis Vaughan, retired distinguished professor of New Testament at Southwestern Seminary, died March 23 in Fort Worth, Texas, following a brief illness.

Vaughan, 80, served as a seminary faculty member from 1950-1995, although he continued to teach classes for five years after his official retirement from the school. He was the author of numerous Bible studies.
