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
