We lost another one of our greatest generation, Dale Wykoff. Dale was a longtime member of our club until his health prevented him from coming. He was never without his camera at our meetings and other Kiwanis events. I'm sure he's having quite a reunion with Tony, Homer, Ernie and other former Kiwanians! Read about his extraordinary military service in his obituary here.
