________________________ We lost Harold “Hal”to cancer on October 12th. Hal joined our Chapter in February, 2018. Hal and Stan Harrison were school classmates at Saline High School and was Stan’s fishing buddy since they were teenagers. Both Stan and Hal worked at MBT in Ann Arbor. Hal had been ill for several months but did not want a blast email sent out. We had a nice turnout of 10 members at the funeral home. The family was pleased when we lined up, saluted and placed a Poppy next Hal’s Urn. SickCall: Fredo is going through cancer treatments. Talked to him a few weeks ago and he didn't sound like the Fredo we know, but is determined to take on this battle. He too, did not want a email blast sent out, but by know most of us are aware so I’m adding Al Merritt to my Sick Call report. I’ll probably get my a$$ chewed out, but so be it. Fredo’s been a stalwart member of our Chapter for decades. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Kathy Driscoll had surgery and has been home recuperating and per Tim, is doing well. I don’t remember if there are any other members who had any health issues that need reporting. We’ve held our dinner at the UAW Hall on Textile Road. Each year attendance is less and less. Our catering cost last year was on the north side of $2,000.00. It was suggested by Jon Luker that we consider doing a Chapter family picnic in place of the rec dinner at the Post. I think it’s an excellent idea. Give this some thought and send me your suggestions. Our Blog is up! We have two opinions posted about the last convention and future of VVA.
