VeneKlasen, Gordon
February 10, 1998, The
Santa Fe New Mexican Page: B-3, TAOS A rescue team trekked through deep snow Monday to
bring out the body of a 71-year-old Santa Fe pilot who died when his light airplane
smashed into a heavily forested mountain near Taos. Gordon VeneKlasen was found dead
Sunday at the site. His single- engine Mooney had disappeared from radar Thursday
while on a flight from Santa Fe to Angel Fire. "We had seven people spend the night with
the wreckage," said Rick Goodman, search and rescue coordinator for the state Department
of Public Safety. "They worked until 1:30 this morning (Monday) trying to get him
out of the wreckage. We sent more tools out this morning. The engine was basically on
top of him." The body was removed from the wreckage late Monday morning, put on
a sled and taken down the mountain. Goodman said nine snowmobiles with trailers
and two snow tractors were transporting the rescuers and the body from the crash scene,
which received 7 inches of fresh snow Sunday night. The body was being delivered to the
state Office of the Medical Investigator for an autopsy. The rescue teams had to
descend about 1,000 feet with the body to reach the snow tractor, Goodman said. James
Schwiner, operation coordinator for the Civil Air Patrol, said two New Mexico Air
National Guard helicopters transported a ground crew into the area Sunday. The crew then
had to hike through deep snow up to 10 feet in some areas to reach the wreckage on the
side of a hill. VeneKlasen had his two Labrador dogs with him on the flight to Angel
Fire. One of the dogs, named Jake, survived. The dog was taken to an animal shelter in Angel
Fire, Goodman said, but there was no word on the fate of the second dog late Monday. The
National Transportation Safety Board will try to determine the cause of the crash.
State police helicopter pilot Sgt. Mike Dowd spotted the airplane about 10:20 a.m. Sunday
about 20 miles southeast of Taos at an altitude of about 10,700 feet. Goodman said the
airplane was "pretty banged up." "There's snow; we couldn't see the wings. The tail was
missing. The front end is pretty mushed, like a head-on," he said. Goodman said
radar indicated the airplane was at an altitude of about 12,500 feet just before it
disappeared. "He probably stalled out and came down at a
pretty vertical
angle," Goodman said. The airplane took off from Santa Fe
County Municipal Airport
Thursday afternoon. VeneKlasen was reported missing when
he failed to show up at
the Angel Fire Airport.

Von Heune, Christian
Dr. Christian Our dear
Christian has died. The man we so much respected, revered
and loved left
suddenly on January 19, 2009. He leaves a powerful legacy
in his energy, his strong
work ethic, his marveling curiosity, his will to do good,
his interest in civil rights, and his great love of the outdoors. Born
Christian Berend Johann von Hoyningen-Heune on August 28, 1932 on the beautiful
Blumenhagen farm in the rolling hills of Berlin, the warmth of well tended earth gave him
a love of gardening, and of the wilderness, that drew him always out of doors. A
refugee from the war, his American mother brought the family back to New England where he
finished high school at the Woodstock Country School in Vermont, achieved Phi Beta
Kappa his junior year, and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bowdoin College in
Brunswick, Maine, in 1954. Recruited to study medicine at
Harvard Medical School,
he took his new wife, Jeanne Clark and first son to
Cambridge, MA. He
received the Maimonides prize his first year at Harvard,
graduated in 1958, and became
a citizen of the United States in 1959. He completed his
internship and residency at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,
specializing in internal medicine. They moved, now with four children, to Germany
in 1962 where he served medical duty as a Captain in the US Air Force at Sembach Air
Base. The family traveled extensively throughout Europe, he took up flying for a
short time and received his pilot's license, enjoyed photography, visiting castle ruins,
and connected again with beloved relatives in Germany. After his tour of duty, the family
moved to the wide open spaces of New Mexico in 1965, and he started practice with the
renowned Lovelace Clinic. He dedicated himself to his patients, enjoyed work with his
colleagues, and often worked the ER. Adventures all around the Southwest on family
camping and hiking trips, learning about it's native peoples and places, mountaineering,
skiing, rafting, even scuba diving, and as an accomplished sailor lovingly passing
on his knowledge to all his children, built his love for New Mexico. His reputation as an
intensely compassionate and caring physician grew, he joined a regular broadcast on
KNME-TV for a time, to help people understand medical science, and continued to make house
calls until his retirement. He was always curious about the world around him, liked to
name the peaks he climbed, the native wildlife, and the flowers and trees. He loved
music, played the flute and taught us singing in chorus, especially German songs. He was a
man of ideas, and continually studied to understand nature and science, politics, and
the history of the peoples of the world, was a member of the ACLU, and loved to discuss and
share his fascination and concern. He scaled all 54 of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks at over
50 years of age, made a pact with himself and bagged 65 peaks over 14,000 feet
before he was 65, several solo. He also reached the summit of Mexico's 17,802 foot Mt.
Popocatepetl. He was an avid snow camper, kept vigorously active, running the La
Luz trail, and participated in half marathons up to age
65. In his retirement,
he worked tirelessly towards the preservation of the NM
environment, volunteered
much time at the Cibola National Forest Service, Open
Spaces Program, removing
graffiti, clearing trails, and leading nature hikes. He
was an inspiring docent at the New Mexico Natural History Museum in
Albuquerque, where he passed on his enthusiasm for Southwest geology and
paleontology to visitors of all ages. Doctor Christian von Huene is survived by
six children, Christian Berend Robert of Albuquerque, Sergei Johann of Albuquerque, Gregor
of San Jose, CA, Karl-Heinrich of Madison, WI, Andre' Sievers of Taos, NM, Ariadne
Marie Barclay of Albuquerque; his first wife Jeanne Clark of Berkeley, CA; his fourth
wife Anne Claire of Albuquerque; brother Friedrich of Brookline; sisters Dorothee
Greenberg and Sigrid MacRae of New York, Brigitte Reid of
Michigan; four grandsons
and a granddaughter, and many nieces, nephews, cousins,
and uncles around the
world. We love you Opa, missya, loveya. Services will be
held on Thursday,
January 29, 2009 at 3 p.m., at the First Unitarian Church.
In lieu of flowers, please
donate in his name to the New Mexico Natural History
Museum or to the Open Spaces
Program of Sandia Ranger District. ABQ Journal January 24,
