Her Obituary

We had a sad phone call this morning from Walt Vilk saying that Grace Marlatt had passed away last night.  She had been a member of our club since 1998 and enjoyed participating in both the Northern District Tournaments and the InterCity Tournaments.  She will be sorely missed.   I do not have any further information at this time.
