Today I am saddened to announce that Indiana State Representative Phyllis Pond died Sunday presumable as a result of pulmonary fibrosis which was diagnosed last month. She was 82 years of age.

Representative Pond was elected to the state legislature in 1978 where she served until submitting her resignation over the Summer that was to be effective 15 October 2013.
