Carl Fish, who worked Tuesday mornings for more than four years, has left his Chapter office data entry job. In addition to processing all those address changes for members, Carl kept a number of small databases current and in order for parking, donations, and publication distribution from the office. We wish him well and will miss him much.

Two former regulars pitched in over the past several months on special projects. Ute Lee managed the year-end retention and year-start setup of accounting records and files, as she has done for several years. Sophie Radowick worked on several financial statement projects, assisting Chapter Treasurer George Denny and Chapter Coordinator Linda Hoyer.
