We Celebrated the signing of the Lodge’s Charter on February 17
On Feb. 17 we had a wonderful evening at the Lodge, revisiting the
older days with outstanding steaks with all the trimmings, organized and
served by PERs Brett Sutton, Len Crandall and our officer corps in the
lower level. We saw many faces we hadn’t seen for a long time and the stories
of the old days were really flying.
