At our April 16th meeting, we invited members and past members to join us and let us know what they have been doing lately. We were delighted to have Dan Hale, who was a past club member, and Dave Fazzina, who is still an active member but has been committed to other endeavors the last couple of years, join us and share what they have been doing. Two other past members were planning on being with us, but emergent commitments prevented them doing so.
