After everyone arrived and the food was ready, Dean Black asked for a moment of silence for Marty Gorman, a member who died recently. He always enjoyed coming to the meetings when he was able.

Farewell to Little Josie
As we have shared with our readers, the health of our little dog, Josie, has been deteriorating for some time. She was 16years old on Mother’s Day.

Bill gently thumped her heart, then massaged it with one finger until she started breathing.
She had been healthy, affectionate, happy and playful until the signs of age began showing.
