Our Presidents Over 50 Years
One of the events that we canceled because of the Covid-19 epidemic, was a past presidents' luncheon. It was to be on the 50th anniversary of our first meeting on April 6, 1970, in the location of that first meeting--the back room of Denny's (formerly the Turkey House).
Since they couldn't meet, all of the past presidents who are still not members of our club were invited to join our Zoom meeting on April 23.
At our 40th Anniversary Celebration, we had two charter members who were previously club presidents attend: Our 6th president, John Mitchel, and our 7th president, Don Richards. John has died since our 40th, leaving Don Richards, an honorary member, as the only charter member who is a past president still living. They are pictured below with the only other charter member who was at our 40th Anniversary Celebration, Bob Bibb, deceased.
