Some of you may not have heard that Dale Johnson’s wife Jackie passed away in her sleep the other night. Dale asked that we pass on to the chapter membership information about the funeral arrangements for those who wish to pay their last respects.

Visitation is at noon on Monday, July 11, at the White Funeral Home on 12804 Nicollet Avenue South, Burnsville. This is just south of Burnsville Parkway on Nicollet. The funeral service will be at 1 pm the same day and burial will immediately follow at the cemetary located at the north side of the State Highway 13 and Nicollet intersection, about a mile away. After burial, everyone is invited back to the White Funeral Home for food and beverages.

The first choice is a tour of the MSP tower – the tower can only support a limited number, so please contact John Koser (see page 3 of the newsletter) before noon on Tuesday Apr 19 if you want to attend – John will finalize arrangements and let everyone know when to gather at the tower. See the map on page 3.

The second choice is to join the Piet builder group at BSAEC, our chapter hangar at Airlake at 6:30pm – the group will continue working on the Piet project for the evening. Contact Pat Halligan if you have questions – directions on page 3 of the newsletter.
