We paid our annual respects to our deceased members today, singing at Roselawn Cemetery, Madison WI, and at St Mary Lake Cemetery, Westport.
We started at Roselawn Memorial Park in Madison where these past members are buried: Roger Attoe, Fred Christian, Hugo Germann, Ray Rickman, Ernst Roth, and Don Yngsdahl.

President Dick Blatter expressed thoughtful comments at these sites. We are reminded of the importance of continuity and keeping those who preceded us in mind. Relatives who could attend were reassured by this simple but meaningful act of remembrance on our part.
