DICK VOGT DIED Nov. 22, 1993, at his home in Stuart, Fla., at the age of 87. He was a native of Buffalo, but had lived in Stuart for 20 years.

In WWII, Dick served in the navy and was a It. commander when he retired. Later he was employed in the Brookhaven Laboratories in Upton, N.Y., from which he retired in 1971.
