Deane Kenny Stryker

Deane Kenny Stryker,

past member of our Interact Club.

Our thoughts and prayers go out

to her Family and Friends

Remembering Sydelle Pittas

This link is the eulogy delivered by Jack Kean at Thursday's meeting, remembering Sydelle.

Remembering Al Hovannesian

For most in the room today the name Albert "Al" Hovannesian has no significance. If you were told he was a Past President of this club you could research the club site, find the list of past presidents and find the name Hovannesian at number 45 out of 90 and that's about all the information available. I would like to give you a little insight into who Al was besides a name on a list....
