With Great Sadness
« on: May 07, 2025, 14:51:22 »
It is with great sadness that I must report that Joe Alexander's wife Mary passed away last week.

We all know Joe as one of the most dedicated members here of SL113.org for more than 20 years, and it was at his home and shop that all the early events dubbed "PUB" were held. Joe and Mary were both long time members of the MBCA and active for many years.
