Hello everyone,

I’m sorry to share some sad news that was passed along by a few of our retirees: Mike Rowe and Bob Christian have both passed away.

I don’t have any additional details at this time. If anyone has more information and is willing to share, I’m sure it would be appreciated by the group.

This is very difficult news to hear, and my thoughts are with their families and all who knew them.

Thank you for helping keep everyone informed.
