Chapter 47 has lost two more members in 2011, Larry Mendoza and James Wood. If you would please keep them and their families in your thoughts during this difficult time. During a recent attempt at contacting all our members we were distressed to find that even more Chapter 47 members have passed. We will compile their names ASAP and give them their due recognition from their fellow chapter members. May you all Rest In Peace, until we all are together again. Thank you for your service to our country.
