RIP, Clarence Getz

[John]

This weekend I lost my friend of many years, and the BCA "Free Spirit" Chapter of PA lost a faithful and fully committed member.  Many of you knew Clarence from Nationals and Regionals where he usually showed one of his 67 Skylarks or vended in the flea market.  Prayers for Sally and the family in their time of sorrow.
