			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>WaPo</em>'s <strong>Dr. Gridlock</strong> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=96891486166&amp;h=GmeWy&amp;u=-KlyR&amp;ref=nf">blogged the identities</a> of seven of the nine who died in yesterday's Red Line crash:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jeanice McMilla</strong>n, 42, of Springfield (train operator)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Major General <strong>David F. Wherley, Jr.</strong>, former commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters, District of Columbia National Guard, and his wife <strong>Ann</strong>, both 62</li>
<li><strong>Lavonda King</strong>, 23</li>
<li><strong>Dennis Hawkins</strong>, 64</li>
<li><strong>Mary Doolittle</strong>, 59</li>
<li><strong>Anna Fernandez</strong>, 40</li>
</ul>
<p>Per <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/06/23/metro-crash-train-was-due-for-brake-fix-names-of-some-dead-released/#more-25521">Cherkis, per WTOP, as well</a>, with more on where they lived and one alternate spelling (Lavanda King).</p>
<p>Councilmember <strong>Phil Mendelson</strong> put out a statement about the Wherleys:</p>
<p><span id="more-25549"></span></p>
<p>"It is with great sadness that it appears that Retired Commanding General David F. Wherley and his wife, Ann, were two of the casualties in yesterday’s Metrorail accident.  My condolences go out to all the families affected by yesterday’s accident.  But over the years, I was fortunate to work with Major General Wherley, and saw his energy and commitment to the residents of the District of Columbia as well as his country.  A District resident, Major General Wherley will be remembered by the countless lives he has touched, from the District youth he mentored to the soldiers and airmen under his command.  I offer my most sincere condolences to the Major General’s family as well as the men and women of the DC National Guard."</p>
<p><em>WaPo</em> also interviewed Ann Wherley, a mortgage banker, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9157-2005Apr22.html">about living in a Cap Hill loft space</a> in April 2005.</p>
