4/16/10  Dear TSCA Members:

It is with sadness that I inform you of the death of Thomas, "Tommy" Strause, the husband of Glynis Holm Strause. As you know Glynis has been the organization's parliamentarian for many years and has faithfully served the membership in other capacities over the duration of her membership. If you wish to leave a message of support and comfort for the Strause family you may do so at the following: http://obits.caller.com/index.cfm?fusection=viewobit&ID=71045. I have spoken with other officers and the organization will make an appropriate contribution in Tommy's honor. Please keep Glynis and her family in your thoughts as they go through this journey of grief and loss.

Sincerely,

Ralph Long
President, TSCA
