Another special event was Greg Bohart receiving his Gold Badge. Greg was a member back in the 80s, and his father was a member of the club too. His retirement is enabling him once again become active. His sponsor, Gary Saks, Mentor Jim Sommer. Greg is proud of his 8 minute mile marathon in Honolulu when in his 20s. Truly something to remember fondly.
Arilla gave news of John Kasser's progress, and of Francis Blair's surgery. We wish them both well! Arilla then became the surrogate fine mistress in John O's absence as members shared good news of travels, Troy Daum, and wine sale contributions, Bob Bar, etc. as others added happily to our coffers.
Pat Chaffee introduced Adrianna McCollum of Alzheimers San Diego. She made us all feel better noting that misplacing the keys, and not remembering why you went into the other room, etc. are a normal pant of the human brain aging. Not necessarily on-setting of the disease. Her handout followed her narrative in a very informative way that really educated all.
