[Md-sligo] Death of National Harbor Chaptor Member

[Janice Toothman]

Michelle,

Harold's humble service will be missed.  There was no job to small that 
he did not do for the Federation. I too will miss seeing him at BELL. It 
is important for children to have a variety role models. My thoughts and 
prayers are with his family.
