Webmaster note: (from a received email)

I just wanted to inform the association that my brother-in-law Henry(Jim) Bracha who is a member of your association is critically ill in our hometown of Milton Florida. He is in ICU at Santa Rosa Medical Center with several major problems. I would like for you and his brothers to remember him in your prayers and thoughts. The best time of his life and his most loving thing was to meet with all of you each year. He was like a kid in the candy store talking about your annual meeting and getting to go to them. The friends he made at them and what goes on at them. I just now got a call from his sister, my wife who told me he is being transferred to West Florida Hospital in Pensacola because of the severity of his problems. Please pass on to anyone and all his name and ask for their support.
Thanks to all of you for making him a very happy at your conventions.

Respectfully,
Lonnie G. LaShum
USN (retired)
