Good Day,
 
It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the news that one of our Founding Member's - Ted Lane has passed away.  It is hard to believe that just a year ago that Ted shared the duties of Officer of the Day while we were in Riverport.  It was always good to chat with Ted, he always had a story to share.
 
Please find attached a copy of Ted's obituary which will run in the newspaper tomorrow.

Best,
Wendy
 
Commodore
