May Captain Adams rest in peace - it was my good fortune to know him and also to have seen this announcement this morning so I could respond. The pandemic has changed many traditional means of demonstrating respect. Attending a Memorial Service was always a tangible expression to stand up and let the family know of the support present in the room and the community. Today it may be a different means with multiple venues but the same holds - today we let a mourning family know how much associations count. Go With God Phil Adams. Arthur Wallenstein
