LOSS OF A MEMBER: By the last meeting we were already aware of the condition of long-time member, Frank Tripoli. After I had already gone to print with the January BPMS Bulletin the news came in that he passed away on December 31, 2013. His patient, clever, friendly and wise presence will be missed. See a full obituary by Frank C. HERE.

TROOP
SUPPORT: With Hugh in retirement
Jimmy Tissot volunteered to take over the role as Wounded Warrior Project
liaison. He’s gotten reports regarding what models and supplies would be most
useful. He was recently advised of a hub to ship to closer to home, so that’s
good. As always, donations of any models and supplies are welcome.
PHOTO
ROSTER: Hugh can provide the files and write
up the process I use in PowerPoint and PhotoManager to put the pages together.
Can anyone take this job over? Hello? Anyone? Contact Bobby or Jeff at the
meeting.
