Bruce Ward conducted a moving roll call of our 22 Charter Members. . All of our Charter members were "present" in our thoughts, 6 answered "here" in person, survivors of 2 answered here and a "here" was answered for the remaining 14 by a member of the club.. There are 11 surviving Charter members .D B McDonald and Wayne Robbins are still active members and were honored for their service.
