Barb Dye, President of COMBO, and the late Nokie Edwards of The Ventures and the song “Hawaii 5-0”
UPDATE: Barb Dye is doing lots better and hopes to be back 100% soon. She wanted to thank our VP Dr. Annette Cannon for pushing her to go the hospital. The board agreed: When Annette speaks, you listen! Also to be thanked are David Barber for jumping in and helping with the newsletter, and all the rest of the board – Tracey Chirhart, Clark Hagan, Johnnie Johnson, Jamie Krutz, Sheena Morgan, Alex Teitz, and Angela Whaley for doing their parts and pitching in! Thank you all so much.
