SALUTE TO ANOTHER FALLEN COMRADE:

Commander William Ross Wilson passed away 1 June 2003. Let us remember his service to this great nation and the community. He joined the Navy in 1938 and retired as a Commander in 1962, serving in WWII and Korea. We thank CDR Wilson for his participation with MOAA. Our condolences to Irene Wilson and her family.

Henry Sipple writes: Our family took a trip to California and had a great time visiting our son, Craig and family. We enjoyed playing with our granddaughter, Camille, who is 2 years old and she got to know who we are. We visited Disneyland, California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm, and even got a chance to go to Newport Beach for one day. We all had a very nice time with another family whose daughter is our son, Dale's sister. He spent some time bonding with her and getting to know her after all these years. All in all, we had a great time together visiting each other. Sunny California is still sunny and nice to visit. We will be going out to visit them again in a couple of years.
