for Leonard Chaffee
October 10, 2011
Barbara: Hearfelt condolences from Ron and Marcia Chambers. I will never forget the friendly Dean that welcomed CDS into the the C.of E. fold, nor will I forget his jovial humor, and, maybe most of all, we will never forget you and Leonard conveying us title to what become known as the Chaffee van (VW popup camper). We speak of the old "VW" and of Leonard, fondly, each vacation year. Ron
