With great sadness I pass on to the NDC members that Craig Lane informed me today that his wife, Pam, has passed away after losing her battle with myelofibrousis. Pam and Craig, NDC members #11, have been a part of our club since day one. They both attended the very first meeting which was held at Greg Walters' home in Piqua, OH, in May of 1984. Pam attended most of our national conventions, and could usually be found on Saturday afternoons counting up the judging points. Indeed, her and Craig were awarded the 2010 Hernando Award. Funeral arrangements and details are still being worked out. She will be missed.

Bill,
Thanks for keeping us informed. Please post any additional information you find regarding arrangements, donations, etc.
Craig and Pam were good friends. Craig was the man who introduced me the fun of junkyard DeSoto searching. We spent many a cold Saturday in Ohio winters hunting for DeSoto parts cars. Pam will be missed by her DeSoto family.

Thoughts and prayers to Craig and his family during this difficult time.
