In Memory
Mary Kay Britton
Les Leslie
Jim and Mary Kay Britton were long time members with Paseo del Norte unit from El Paso, TX. I personally knew Jim and Mary Britton and attended numerous rallies with them. (John Elliott)
We have lost two other Airstream friends this week. You may remember Mary Kay Britton (wife of Jim). She passed away after suffering from a stroke several months ago. Also we lost Les Leslie who left the club a few years ago due to poor health. He died of heart failure at the age of 94. These have been very sad days for us. (Susan Banta)

DIV { MARGIN: 0px } I am very sorry to learn the loss of Ed Harris . Being relatively new to the WBCCI, I don’t believe that I ever met the Harrises, but I have heard them spoken of kindly on more than one occasion. (Bruce Gaither )
My father, Edwin Harris, passed away on February 2, 2010. At the present time, I do not believe my mother is planning on attending any rallies. You should know that both of my parents enjoyed all the trips they made with the clubs, both in El Paso and New Mexico. Thank You (Phil Harris )
