Dan Welling was informed that Bruce Weidner, the founder of SLRA and long time SLRA president, as well as TRA prefect passed away in the summer of 2019. His nephew David McMurtry is planning a memorial of some type for Bruce this September or October.
Dan shared a YouTube Video (below). This is video of the member's recollections and plaque presentation from the SLRA party held January 5, 2013 at Mike Duffys in Kirkwood. We viewed some launch videos, met with old friends, and congratulated Bruce on his founding and management of SLRA over 20 years. We had several long distance travelers attend to wish Bruce well.
When we find out the details of the planned Memorial, we will pass it on.
Blessings and Thanks to Bruce for all that he has done to make us what we are today.
