 Robert S. Brandt
April 3, 2013
Bob was very active in the Association, serving as Treasurer from 1989-91 and President from 1991-93. He and his wife, Pegge, were faithful attendees at Asilomar and many other events. Bob and I became very close friends as we worked together. We shared many happy hours both in and outside ΦBK. I will miss him immensely.
Bob passed away Tuesday evening, April 3rd 2013 in Kirkland, Washington. He had just turned 91.

 Nancy L. M. Repp
April 17, 2013
Nancy was very active in the Association, and a faithful attendee at Asilomar and many programs until her failing health made it too dificult. She was an invaluable assistant to Gordon when he was Newsletter Chair - I still remember her helping sort the paper mailing labels that came from National before our Association got computerized. In my years of working Gordon and Nancy, we became very good friends.
Nancy died peacefully in her sleep. As you may recall, she had
successfully fought lung cancer for over 20 years, and was always one of the
most cheerful people you'd ever want to see.
