A ‘model’ for the commonwealth Gov. Glenn Youngkin helps dedicate Prince William County’s future crisis receiving center By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin visited Prince William County’s future mental health “crisis receiving center” Thursday, May 11 for a community dedication of what he called a “state-ofthe-art” model for mental health care across the commonwealth. Youngkin praised the CRC, slated to open in 2025, as a facility that will provide better and faster care for those suffering from mental illness. “People need help when they need (it), not a week or six weeks later,” Youngkin said. “The current system is hospital-centric and only helps when people are actively in crisis.” Youngkin said facilities like the CRC could be part of a plan to address mental health statewide. Youngkin’s mental health plan includes establishing more than 30 mobile crisis teams to respond to 988 suicide hotline calls; allowing people with counseling licenses from other states to work in Virginia; and educating Virginians about the fentanyl overdose epidemic. Youngkin’s initiative, which he has named “Right Help, Right Now,” was announced in 2022 and is slated to take about three years to implement at an estimated cost of about $230 million.

Back in July 2022, when a comprehensive plan amendment that would turn northern Prince William County into a massive data center development was being considered, the plans depicted two large parks and hundreds of acres of green space as key to the project. The parks became a selling point. Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, a long supporter of the project, touted them in a newsletter to constituents last October. More recently, Compass and QTS, two data center developers involved in the Prince William Digital Gateway, as the project is known, included the parks in their depictions of “800 acres of new connected open space” as they unveiled their plans to area residents. But a close look at the plans reveals no real plans for the parks. Instead, there are only hopes and promises that the parks will come to fruition. When Compass and QTS Data Centers recently applied to rezone the land for data centers, the final step in the approval process, their applications made it clear that the big parks are not part of their projects at this point.

Neighbors express shock, sadness in the wake of fatal stabbings STABBINGS, from page 1 On Monday, May 15, Sandy Reams, 70, called their home upset because Nick had said something concerning. He told them something like, “They’re coming in the morning to stab us all,” the woman said. The woman said her mother offered to sit with Sandy Reams to make sure everything was OK. Sandy Reams declined, the neighbor said, but promised she would keep her cell phone close by. On Tuesday morning, the unthinkable happened. “When we got up, my mom said, ‘Something happened across the street,’” the neighbor said. “I came out, and there were cop cars everywhere.” Rodney Reams, 67, called police at about 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday, May 16, to report that his adult son had “killed his wife and stabbed him,” according to a recording of police
radio traffic accessed via the website Open mhz.. Rodney Reams told a police dispatcher he thought his wife was dead. He then said he felt “very weak” and stopped responding to the dispatcher’s questions. At about 2:20 p.m. Tuesday, Prince William County police reported that three people had died from stab wounds suffered during an apparent domestic dispute at a home in the 5100 block of Cannon Bluff Drive in northwest Woodbridge. When officers arrived at the home, they found all three suffering from stab wounds. The female victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the two men were transported to an area hospital where they died from their injuries, according to Officer Wade Dickinson, a Prince William County police spokesman. The altercation was contained to the home, and there was no threat to the surrounding community, Dickinson said in a news release. As of presstime Wednesday, May 17, police had not released the victims’ names and declined to say whether the incident was an appar-
A ‘model’ for the commonwealth YOUNGKIN, from page 1 “Virginians deserve the best the state can give them,” said Nelson Smith, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Development, which oversees mental health services in the state. “This is truly the model of a community coming together to listen to the needs of their people.” Crisis receiving centers and mobile crisis teams are part of the state’s plan to shift mental health crisis patients away from “overwhelmed” emergency rooms and keep them close to their homes and communities, according to Smith. The aim of CRCs is also to keep law enforcement from having to wait in the emergency room with patients in crisis—something which often takes hours or even days. The county’s CRC is being constructed in the former Gander Mountain superstore near Potomac Mills mall. The building served as a vaccination center during the COVID-19 pandemic. The center will act as an urgent care facility for patients in mental health crises and those experiencing withdrawal from substances. It will also host offices for county mental health and peer support programs. The CRC will provide care for those experiencing a variety of mental illnesses and challenges, including anxiety and depression. It will also include a detox component that will help those with substance abuse

Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman, said in an email. “All parties are accounted for, and as our release stated earlier, we’re still trying to determine the course of events.” Police investigators remained at the house all day, leaving at about 6 p.m., said the mother and daughter who lived across the street. Standing at the foot of the Reams’ driveway, the women said they were in shock about what happened. “Not even tears yet, just stunned,” the older woman said. The Reams, she added, “just helped everybody in this whole neighborhood – with anything.” They talked about how Rodney Reams built the home and was so meticulous that parts of it were not yet finished, including some wood trim and other “little things,” the older woman said. They also spoke of how Nick Reams did pet-sitting and readily volunteered to care for neighbors’ dogs

problems or experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, who championed the bipartisan effort to fund the CRC, said that it was “surreal” to finally see some of the results of her work. “It’s a blessing come true,” Bailey said. “This is what we are supposed to be doing.” Floorplans of what the center will look like when filled with offices, corridors and patient rooms were displayed during the event. The CRC is planned to open with 16 adult beds and 16 recliners, which are for patients who stay at the center for 23 hours or less. It will also have eight beds and eight recliners specifically for youth, though the county might double these numbers. It will employ about 130 staff. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, whose district includes the CRC site, praised the location as having easy access to transportation and previ-

The man recently died, and Nick Reams seemed to be grieving his loss, they said. At the same time, they noted that Nick Reams was quiet and very shy and could be “quite a bit odd,” the younger woman said. She speculated that the son was having mental health issues and wondered if his parents had tried to seek help. “With an adult, you can’t make them do anything unless they threaten someone,” she noted. Sandra Reams, they said, was a longtime Spanish teacher in Stafford County and just went back to work teaching English to mostly adult learners. “Her students all just graduated.

ously being a well-known vaccination center. “I’m beyond honored to have it in the Occoquan District,” Boddye said during a speech at the dedication event. “The community knows this place as a place of safety from COVID; now they will know it as a place to heal their minds, no matter how dark it is.” The county first planned to lease the building but then pivoted to buy it when its owner announced it was selling. The county was the winning bidder in a March auction, paying $15.2 million. The county cobbled together COVID-19 funding, federal, state and local money to plan and construct the CRC. About $2 million more is still needed to fully build the center with the planned youth beds. But the county has enough money to open and operate the center, according to board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large. During the ceremony, elected officials wrote their “intentions” for the center on two pieces of canvas—choosing words that people who walk into the center will see. Virginia state Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, was among several state lawmakers who wrote messages to future CRC patients. Roem said that she hopes that young people—especially young transgender people, who suffer from increased rates of mental health crises—feel a sense of belonging when they come to the CRC. “I hope that every one of those kids knows that if they step into these walls, they will be respected and treated as someone who belongs here,” Roem said.

Prince William students end the year with $350K in school meal debt By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, all school meals were free to students for two years. Congress ended that provision for most schools this year, and, once again, Prince William County students are racking up school meal debt. As of late April, local students had amassed nearly $350,000 in school meal debt across the county in schools that do not qualify for the “community eligibility provision.” CEP makes meals free in schools where at least 40% of students qualify for free meals according to their family income. In Prince William County, 37 of 100 schools qualify for the CEP. Adam Russo, the school division’s director of school food and nutrition services, said the debt is no worse than before the pandemic. However, its return may cause schools to have to take money out of their own budgets to cover the losses. All schools in the county serve lunch and breakfast, and some serve dinner after school. According to Russo, schools that serve dinner are lower-income ones that host afterschool activities, where students will still be at school around dinnertime. State Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, who lives in and represents the Manassas area, has focused on school lunch legislation since she was elected to office in 2017. Called the “lunch lady” by both her opponents and supporters due her many school meal bills, Roem said her ultimate goal is to pass universal free school meals across the state. “I’m an Italian stepmom—I want to feed everyone,” Roem said. Outside of the legislative system, one Prince William County mom is raising money to pay off school meal debt—which would otherwise be taken out of the school’s budget at the end of the year. Adelle Settle runs a nonprofit organization called “Settle the Debt,” which has already paid about $55,000 of the county’s $350,000 school lunch debt as of April 26. “I always try to keep it as low-key as possible,” Settle said. “I like the lunch debt to just disappear.” Settle raises money from individual donors and businesses to pay off school meal debt. She says that her background as a low-income student after her parents’ divorce inspired her to take care of kids in similar situations. “One of our donors is a very generous alumnus of one of our high schools,” Settle said. “He covers that high school often. Some people donate on my website, some on PayPal. I go through the sources at the end of the year and try to take care of as many schools as possible.”

Elementary schools
1. Leesylvania Elementary: $5,943 2. Williams Elementary: $5,359 3. Montclair Elementary: $3,317 Both women have worked together on this issue, which is pronounced in the county. A high cost of living and many families who make just enough money not to qualify for free meals—but are still struggling—are all issues in Prince William County. Many PWC families are above the income threshold for free lunch, but that threshold is federally set and does not take the county’s high cost of living into account. According to Settle, this leaves many of the lower-income students in schools that do not qualify for the CEP in the difficult position of taking on lunch debt. “It’s not a cheap place to live,” Settle said. “In order to qualify (for free lunch) the most you could make is $50,000 as a family of four. You can really be struggling and earning more than that, as a family of four.” Roem has tried to increase the number of schools that qualify for the CEP in part by passing a bill that requires schools to distribute free meal sign-up sheets at back-toschool nights to reach more parents. If 40% of the students in a school qualify, the entire school gets free meals under CEP. Roem says that reaching just a few more parents could push a school from 39% to 40%. “It’s an issue we do not talk a lot about statewide, but we also have a lot of parents who struggle with literacy,” Roem said. “This is an opportunity for parents who see the application to be in a school, where they can get help with it.” Roem also passed a bill, HB 5113, which requires all schools eligible for the CEP to participate in it. For the past few years, school have been required to give every student a standard, hot meal regardless of their ability to pay as a result of a bill Roem passed that prohibits “alternative meals,” which were cheese or sunflower-butter sandwiches. This, according to Roem, helps alleviate the stigma of not being able to afford lunch. See DEBT, page 6

Candidate: Opponent’s mailers falsely imply Youngkin’s endorsement By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Republican Josh Quill is crying foul over mailers sent by his opponent, John Stirrup, that feature Stirrup wearing a Glenn Youngkin-style red vest and photos of Stirrup and Youngkin standing together that Quill says falsely imply the governor’s endorsement. Both Quill and Stirrup are vying for the GOP nomination in the June 20 primary in the House of Delegates’ newly drawn 21st District, which is comprised of about 58,000 voters in Gainesville and Brentsville. The district leans “slightly Republican,” according to the Virginia Public Access Project. Youngkin has not yet endorsed either candidate in the race. Quill, 37, said Stirrup’s campaign has sent three mailers that include photos and statements implying Youngkin’s support, including a Photoshopped image of Youngkin and Stirrup in front of a lake and wilderness landscape. “That’s awfully audacious for somebody to do,” Quill said of the mailers. Asked for comment, Stirrup, 65, of Haymarket, said he embraces Youngkin’s platform as a campaign strategy but did not directly address the mailers. “I proudly champion my friend Gov. Youngkin’s Republican agenda, and that has been and will be prominent throughout my campaign platform: fixing the economy, supporting law enforcement and restoring quality education in the classroom and empowering parents,” Stirrup’s statement said. Quill said the mailers were sent to thousands of voters in the 21st District. While campaigning outside the Haymarket-Gainesville Library, a polling place for early voting, Quill said several voters have asked him if Stirrup has Youngkin’s endorsement. Others texted him pictures of the mailers to ask the same thing, Quill said.

Mailers for John Stirrup, a Republican candidate for the 21st District state delegate race, wears a Gov. Glenn Youngkin-style vest in his campaign mailers. “I think it’s unethical, and I think it’s wrong to mislead voters,” Quill told the Prince William Times. “The feedback I have received from those voters is, it looks like there’s an endorsement. … When I tell them it’s not, they say, ‘Well, that’s misleading,’ because that’s what it makes it look like.” Quill further noted Stirrup frequently wears a red vest while campaigning or attending public events despite the lack of Youngkin’s endorsement. That could cause confusion given that Youngkin formally presented both Hung Cao and Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, with red vests when he endorsed their congressional bids last fall, Quill said. Cao was running in the 10th District, while Coles was running in the
7th. Both lost to the Democratic incumbents. “You essentially have from the time somebody picks up the mail from their mailbox to the time they get to their recycling bin to look at that mailer. That’s about how much time you have to get to that voter,” Quill said, noting voters could easily get the wrong impression. In a recent poll conducted by Roanoke College, Youngkin’s approval rating is 57% across the commonwealth, which Quill said could be a factor in his primary race. “If folks look at (the mailers) and say, ‘Hey, we love Governor Youngkin,’ … and then they were to say, ‘Oh, it looks like he has endorsed this particular candidate.’ I believe that would absolutely sway voters,” Quill said. Quill’s thinking makes sense according to Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor and director of the University of Mary Washington Center for Leadership and Media Studies, who said primary voters are looking for ways to differentiate candidates from the same party. “Impressions matter a lot in primary campaigns because voters don’t have that Democratic versus Republican partisan cue,” Farnsworth said, adding: “What candidates often do is talk about how they are like another (elected official), implying that there may be an endorsement -- without actually saying that there is an endorsement -- when there is not.” Sometimes candidates do this by “giving impressions rather than stating facts” and allowing voters to “fill in the blanks,” he said. “I think a lot of what happens in campaign mailers is unethical,” Farnsworth said. “But if it’s not factually false, it’s in the realm of what candidates might say about themselves or each other.” “It’s not a credible claim of fraud to argue that one is improperly wearing a red vest,” Farnsworth added.

Candidate: Opponent’s mailers falsely imply Youngkin’s endorsement MAILERS, from page 5 If a candidate thinks another candidate has an advantage by wearing a red vest, then they should wear one too, he said. Farnsworth said Photoshopping images is “a little more problematic,” but whether Stirrup crossed a line is ultimately up to the voters. “If (voters) feel like this is acceptable artistic license and campaign messaging, then it is,” Farnsworth said. “If people think that Stirrup has gone too far, well, then he did.” “If you expect a candidate to be 100% honest and 100% transparent in their activities as a candidate,
you’re going to be disappointed,” he added. In the end, if there is nothing “flat out false,” primary voters will make the call. “The people who participate in primaries tend to be pretty highly partisan folks, so they’re going to want to hear a great deal about issues and candidate backgrounds,” Farnsworth said. “A Republican candidate has got to be evaluated on something other than whether or not they have a red vest on.” The best news coming out of this controversy is for Youngkin, Farnsworth said. “It is good news for the governor, though, that candidates are fighting over who is most like Youngkin,”
Prince William students end the year with $350K in school meal debt
Farnsworth said. “In a lot of districts in the commonwealth, Republican candidates are fighting over who is most like (Donald) Trump.” Farnsworth said that’s true of Republicans in Virginia’s more rural districts. Youngkin, however, offers an alternative, he said. Youngkin’s election in 2021 “has given rise to a number of governors around the country who have tried to campaign as Glenn Youngkin-style Republicans.” Farnsworth said. “In Prince William County, we’re now seeing Glenn Youngkin as a model for house of delegate candidates.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com
riculars – including graduation—because of unpaid meal debt. Both were also bills of Roem’s. Russo says that while Prince William County schools have not used debt collectors to collect school meal debt—at least, not while he has led school nutrition—although other localities used them in the past. While Roem says her school lunch bills have been successful at helping feed students, her ultimate goal is to pass free meals for students in all Virginia public schools. “It’s one of the best anti-poverty initiatives we have,” Roem said. “If parents don’t have to worry about lunch, the money can go towards rent, paying the mortgage or whatever else they need. It helps address hunger and poverty outside of schools.” Roem and state Sen. Mike Mullin, D-93rd, introduced HB 1967 during the 2023 legislative session. It would have required schools to offer free meals statewide but failed to pass out of the
See DEBT, from page 3 “During my tenure, we have never seen an alternative meal served,” Russo said. “The kids just enjoy their meal—they don’t have jobs; they’re not aware of any financial struggles.” The downside of this, according to Settle, is that students take on more school meal debt. “It means that more kids are eating every day, but it does mean that those kids are incurring more meal debt,” Settle said. “It’s not a terrible thing, because we’re feeding those kids.” School lunch debt can impose a large burden on schools, but also on individual students. Virginia just recently outlawed the use of debt collectors for school meal debt and prohibited schools from keeping students from participating in extracur-

education committees. While there was not much vocal opposition to the bill, according to Roem, it died after five of the eight K-12 subcommittee members voted against it. Now, Roem is running for state Senate and trying again to pass universal free school meals. Meanwhile, Settle is busy trying to raise money to cover the school lunch debt in the county—or as much of it as she can—by June. “It needs to be handled by the end of June,” Settle said. “If I don’t raise that, then in the schools that are not paid for, the debt will come out of the school’s budget. If you’re a high school, and your students owe $20,000, that’s money that could be used for a reading specialist, or technology or the salary of a teacher who could have helped the kids. I try to take care of as much as I can so that the kids have every opportunity.” Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com

Dumfries Senior Olympian featured on public TV show COURTESY PHOTOS
Al Lamb, 81, of Four Seasons at Historic Virginia, swims regularly as part of his training routine for the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics.
At 81, Al Lamb has a new goal: a gold medal By Andria Post
Contributing Writer
Lifelong Virginian Alton “Al” Lamb, now a resident of Four Seasons at Historic Virginia in Dumfries, was recently featured on a WETA public television show for his commitment to a daily fitness routine and his status as a Senior Olympian. Lamb, 81, keeps fit by training to compete in the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics (NVSO), which was organized in 1982 and recently celebrated its 40th year. Al has earned two silver medals for the 5K Power Walk and a bronze medal in the 800-meter walk. Lamb was born and raised in Virginia and said he had family disciplinarians who instilled high standards and expectations while he was growing up. Lamb is certainly a “man for all seasons,” having served in the U.S. Navy after high school and being an accomplished and certified scuba diver, among other accomplishments. He served aboard the USS Robinson (a destroyer, number 562), the USS Kitty Hawk (a fixed-wing aircraft carrier, number 63) and the USS San Marcos (a landing ship dock, number 2). Lamb also has many civilian accomplishments, including being a family man with three successful daughters living around the country.
He also worked in corporate America with AT&T, Satellite Business Systems (SBS), IBM and Siemens. He continued using his business acumen by founding his own company, Al Lamb & Associates, Inc., which he led for 23 years. On any given day, Lamb can be found doing his daily regimen of swimming laps on one day, followed by active exercises, such as rowing, on the second day. To train for the NVSO, Lamb is now walking two to three miles every day. In his interview with WETA, Lamb said he began focusing on his health after hurting his back during the 2010 snowstorm. The injury occurred while he was shoveling snow from his deck. As part of his recovery, he took a fitness class on weight training for seniors and then began a walking regimen at the mall. He said he started out by walking for five minutes and resting for three minutes until he worked up to being able to walk for an hour. Lamb also became a vegetarian. Lamb’s reputation precedes him, as Richmond’s WETA Public Broadcasting Service learned about his achievements and contacted him. They interviewed and filmed him in action on April 17 for their statewide show, “VPM News Focal Point,” which is produced weekly in Richmond. The program aired on Thursday, May 4 at 8 p.m. Watch it at: www.vpm. org\watch\focal-point. See OLYMPIAN, page 10

Retired Marine to lead Memorial Day parade Arney M. Johnson, 88, served 30 years, 2 tours in Vietnam By Aimee O’Grady
Special to the Fauquier Times
Arney M. Johnson said he was surprised to be asked to be grand marshal of the upcoming Warrenton Memorial Day parade and even more surprised when he realized he didn’t have to plan the parade. “I thought the grand marshal had to plan the parade, but I wasn’t about to tell anyone that,” he laughed. At 88, Johnson is full of energy and has a quick wit. His social calendar remains full, and he enjoys dining at Sedona Taphouse in Fredericksburg or Denim and Pearls in Warrenton for their Mussels Monday or Burger Night on Thursday. “I don’t drink beer, but I do enjoy a good wine,” he said. Johnson served two tours in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969. When asked about his military experiences, he said he remembers the “funny things” despite being in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. His military experience, however, began over a decade earlier in 1953. Johnson was born in Katonah, New York, in Westchester County, in April 1935. Johnson was one of four children. Katonah happens to be where Martha Stewart now lives, Arney interjected. His father served during World War I for a few years before managing a large estate, and his mother was an Irish emigrant who came to the United States for better opportunities. When his father died from cancer in 1943, his mother found work at the New York State Prison and reformatory. “This is where Martha Stewart did her time,” added Arney. Arney’s two older sisters were officers in the Marine Corps and married Marine Corps officers. “My elder sister was one of the first seven women to get a regular commission as a 2nd lieutenant following the Career Compensation Act,” said Arney. “Her experience was so good, my other sister joined her three years later,” he added. Today, they are all buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Arney was a senior in High School when he turned 18 in April 1953. His draft notice arrived before his diploma. “I was sort of expecting it,” he said. “I had been in the South in the summer and knew I was headed to Parris Island, so I told the recruitment officer that I had made a work commitment and couldn’t commit until the end of September,” said Arney. The ruse was effective, and Arney beat the heat and was in South Carolina in the fall. “My sister came up from Philadelphia where she was stationed and swore me in to the Marine Corps,” said Arney. Arney said he had an annual winter pass to the small Puerto Rican Island of Vieques where the United States had an ammunition depot. “I had a tan year-round,” said Arney. On Easter Sunday 1955, Arney married his high school sweetheart Veronica, and in 1956 he was reassigned to a Marine Corps finance office in Garden City, Long Island. He spent 12 years as a warrant officer. During the Vietnam War, Arney received a temporary commission as a 2nd lieutenant. “I rose in rank, but my permanent grade was a warrant officer,” he said. After 30 years and nine days, Arney retired from the military on October 1, 1983. The couple settled onto a large piece of land they purchased in Goldvein in 1976 where Arney still lives. Now he sells hay, but at one time, he raised black Angus cattle and showed quarter horses. The last horse died a few years ago. Veronica and Arney had no children, a result, he said, of Veronica’s exposure to contaminated

The two traveled during Arney’s retirement years and visited Ireland in 1987 where they celebrated a large family reunion. In 2011, Arney noticed Veronica’s behavior had changed. “She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s,” he said. She was in stage 4 in 2014 when she was admitted to a care facility in Fredericksburg. “She stopped walking and talking two months after moving in,” said Arney. He said he had lunch and supper with Veronica every day until Feb. 15, 2017, when she died. “She’s buried in Arlington Cemetery, not far from my sister and brother-in-law,” said Arney. Arney remains active and social and has a
sharp sense of humor. He handles the money as the quarter master for the VFW Post 7728. “I was an agent of the U.S. Treasury, so I suppose I am somewhat trustworthy,” he jokes. Of the upcoming Memorial Day parade, he asks that everyone remember that Memorial Day is for the dead, and Veterans Day is for the living. “We should all remember the freedoms that people died for so that we can enjoy this wonderful place called the United States of America. Many people don’t realize just how good they have it,” he said. Molly Brooks, founder and CEO of Hero’s Bridge agrees, “In the business of everyday life, it is easy to forget the everyday heroes that live all around us in this wonderful community. This parade, and other events like it, gives us all one time to pause, reflect and honor our veterans from all generations.” The Warrenton Memorial Day parade is scheduled for Monday, May 29 at 10 a.m. Following the parade, a ceremony will be held at the Warrenton cemetery.

Local Senior Olympian featured on public TV show OLYMPIAN, from page 7
COURTESY
Al Lamb, 81, of Four Seasons at Historic Virginia, works out with weights and walks two to three miles a day.
“What I tell seniors, of any age, is, ‘You gotta to start somewhere.’ You’re not going to get healthier, feel better, get fit and feel like I do at 81, better than I did when I was 68, (without exercising). You got to start,’” Lamb said in the interview. “I am extremely happy. I feel better, stronger, healthier than I felt before I injured my back. Exercise has a healing power.” The NVSO offers 74 individual events for athletes 50 and older, and various competitions are hosted throughout Northern Virginia. Their website (NVSO.us) lists specific events, dates and competing times for each athletic program. Lamb reflects that exercising and keeping fit is for all ages. His personal motto is “the healing power of exercise will keep me healthy, fit and strong.” He credits his exercise regimen with keeping him active and motivated, which is evidenced by his motivation and drive as well as his skills and abilities. This year’s NVSO opens on Sept. 9, at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center in Arlington. The competition will run from Sept. 9 through Sept. 24 at various Northern Virginia locations. Lamb’s dream includes winning a gold medal in this year’s competition. With his commitment to training, being active and keeping fit, his dream may become a reality. Good luck Al!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In support of Deshundra Jefferson for Prince William County board chair Ask yourself: Are you better off than you were four years ago, or have your dreams been hijacked to serve the selfish aims of others? Prince William County is at a crossroads, and the 2023 elections will decide whether we free ourselves from subservience to developer exploitation or slip permanently into the abyss. A positive change awaits in the candidacy of Deshundra Jefferson for Prince William County board chair. She vows to restore transparency and integrity to a government that has been quick to abuse your trust and give away the store to big tech predators who are gorging on your slice of the pie. We must diversify our commer-
cial tax base among ALL targeted industries, vice putting all our eggs in the data center basket and focus on attracting small businesses by reducing barriers to their establishment. Deshundra believes we cannot accept the rise in violent crime as the “new normal.” Instead, we should employ community policing practices, where law enforcement officers build relationships with community members in an effective partnership to promote public safety. We should develop programs to incentivize law enforcement officers to live within the neighborhoods they serve to increase their community investment and foster trust. Taxes fund essential services,
but we must scrutinize how they are spent. And we must ensure tax equity among homeowners, small businesses and big corporations. You deserve a fair tax bill and full value for what you pay.
Take back your county. Vote for Deshundra Jefferson in the June 20th Democratic primary. Early voting is now underway. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville
POLICE BRIEFS Woodbridge drunk driver sentenced for crash that killed young Triangle mom Staff Reports A Woodbridge man was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with 10 suspended, after he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in an Oct. 22, 2020, head-on collision that killed a young Triangle mom and injured her two young children, who were 6 and 8 at the time of the crash. Prince William County Circuit Court Judge Kimberly A. Irving sentenced Ronal Eriberto Guillen, 28, after he pleaded guilty on May 11 to felony aggravated involuntary DWI manslaughter, according to Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth’s office. On the day of the crash, Guillen drank alcohol and smoked marijuana at a friend’s house and then got behind the wheel of his 2011 Ford Explorer. Guillen made a left turn from Glendale Drive onto Springwoods Drive in Lake Ridge, where he crossed a center median. Guillen was driving southbound in the northbound lanes of Springwoods Drive for more than 900 feet when his vehicle struck Lataja Wilkin’s 2011 Toyota Camry head-on at about 6:10 a.m. that morning, according to court records. Wilkins, 32, of Triangle, died after being transported to a nearby hospital, the release said. Wilkins’ two young children were also in the vehicle and were seriously injured but survived the crash. Wilkins worked as a nurse and was on her way to drop off her kids at her mother’s house before going to work that morning. The crash occurred at about 6 a.m., according to an earlier news release said. The police investigation revealed that Guillen’s blood alcohol content was 0.15g/210L of breath at the time of the accident, the release said. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Sarah Sami and Deputy Chief of Staff Kevin L. Leahy prosecuted the case. Ashworth commended Investigator Benjamin E. Fish and the police crash investigation unit for their work leading to the successful prosecution, the release said.
Bristow woman charged after striking a state police SUV, injuring a state trooper on I-66 A Bristow woman was charged Monday after striking a Virginia State Police squad car and injuring a trooper on Interstate 66 in Fairfax County, according to Virginia State Police. At 3:59 p.m. on Monday, May 15, a state trooper initiated a traffic stop for a speeding pickup truck traveling east on I-66. The pickup pulled off onto the shoulder and stopped at the 50-mile marker. After making initial contact with the pickup truck’s driver, the trooper was walking back to his patrol SUV when a Camaro ran off the right side of I-66 and slammed into the back of the VSP SUV. The impact of the crash launched the state police SUV forward, striking the trooper and knocking him into the right eastbound travel lane. The SUV also struck the rear of the
pickup truck, according to Corinne Geller, a Virginia State Police spokeswoman. The trooper was able to recover quickly enough and get out of the travel lane before being struck by oncoming traffic, Geller said in a news release. The driver of the Camaro, Khadija F. Sayyid, 24, of Bristow, Va., was treated and released from Fairfax Inova Hospital. She was wearing a seatbelt, the release said. The state trooper was also treated and released from Fairfax Inova Hospital. The state police SUV was stopped on the right shoulder and had its emergency lights flashing at the time it was struck. Sayyid has been charged with reckless driving, the release said.
Police: Suspect sought after 7-Eleven armed robbery in Manassas
Police: 12-year-old student implicated in Catholic school bomb threat
Police are looking for a suspect in an early morning armed robbery at a 7-Eleven store on Sudley Manor Drive in Manassas. Police responded at about 2:17 a.m. on Friday, May 12, to the convenience store, located at 10470 Sudley Manor Drive just northeast of Sudley Road, after a caller reported that a masked man had entered the store, brandished a gun and demanded money from the cash registers, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The man fled from the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. No shots were fired, and no injuries were reported, Carr said in a news release. Police used a helicopter and K-9 unit from Fairfax County to search for the suspect, who has not been found. He is described as a white man who is about 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black mask and all black clothing, the release said.
A 12-year-old female student has been implicated in a May 5 bomb threat at Holy Family Catholic Church and School in Woodbridge that was written on a bathroom stall, according to Prince William County police. Officers were called to the church and school, located at 14160 Ferndale Road in Dale City, at about 11:20 a.m. on Friday, May 5. A limited number of staff were at the school when the threat was discovered and left the building as a precaution. The school was checked by police and K-9 teams, but no device was located, according to Prince William County police. While investigating, officers received information identifying a student as the suspect. After consultation with Prince William County’s juvenile court services, the case resulted in an informal action and will be handled through the juvenile diversion process, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

Black Metal Mercantile opens in downtown Manassas
SUBMITTED
Deron Blevins.
Staff Reports Historic Downtown Manassas has yet another new – but familiar – face in Black Metal Mercantile. Owned by Deron Blevins, who along with partner, Pete Evick, owns neighboring candle shop Shining Sol, Black Metal Mercantile is a vintage general store with a modern twist, selling everything from food and drinks to toys, to “dude gifts” and home décor, according to a news release. The store opened in April at the 1,300-square-foot retail space at 9082 Center St., previously home to Knock on Wood. Blevins had long been interested in bringing the general store concept to Downtown Manassas, according to a news release from the City of Manassas’ economic development office. “With Shining Sol having so much success across the street, I jumped on the opportunity to bring a concept that would match the lively atmosphere of downtown,” Blevins, a Manassas native, said in a statement. “Black Metal Mercantile’s slogan of ‘purveyors of the unique & distinct’ and inventory for literally anyone, is a great compliment to the city’s historic heart and modern beat.” The store joins a host of other business developments in Manassas, including fellow retailer Fillagreen, now open down the street, as well as Zengo’s and the Gadfly Gastro Pub, which is under construction, the release said.

Winning a state championship immortalizes a team forever, but winning two solidifies them as a dynasty. For the Highland School baseball team, repeating is the goal after the Hawks captured their first VISAA Division II state title in school history last season. Featuring seven players from Prince William County, Highland’s title defense has been a home run so far. At 23-5, Highland is the No. 1 seed in the state tournament and advanced to the semifinals following their 5-1 win over The Covenant School in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. “They look at it as a different challenge (this season) because we’re a different team. We graduated eight seniors,” said 12th year coach Micah Higgins. “But I think this team has got all the pieces.” Although Highland is located in Warrenton, half of the Hawks’ 22man roster comes from outside Fauquier County. “I wanted to come over to a school with a lot of competition. I wanted to face the best of the best,” said Highland’s slugging right fielder Kehler Hamilton, who lives in Haymarket and left Battlefield High for the baseball experience he’s getting at Highland. “This team is super close, we are surrounded by great coaches and all of us are great players. It’s been the best decision I made. It’s awesome,” said Hamilton, a junior who has committed to play at Elon University in the Colonial Athletic Association. “As far as ‘recruiting,’ I tell everyone our program recruits itself,” says Higgins. “Our success of developing and sending players to play at the next level along with playing 30-35 games a year against high level competition across the East Coast attracts top student-athletes from our region.” Finishing 29-2 a year ago, the Hawks capped off the best season in school history with a 10-7 victory over Greenbrier Christian Academy in the state final last May. The championship had been a long time coming as it was their third straight trip to the state finals, previously losing to Greenbrier in 2021 and Miller School of Albemarle in 2019.
Loaded lineup
Higgins has a deep arsenal of pitchers, including Prince William’s Stephen Christopher and Hamilton and Fauquier’s John Noah Lukonis, Owen Winebarger and Weston Lillard.

Virginia Tech-bound sophomore pitcher Stephen Christopher is one of eight current Highland baseball players to secure an NCAA Division I offer. Highland’s projected No. 1 starter and junior William & Mary commit Brennen Card has been out since midMarch with an arm injury, but Lukonis and Winebarger have carried the load. Lukonis, a senior Randolph Macon College signee, is a veteran right-hander who leads the team in wins with a 7-1 record. Leading the Hawks in appearances out of the bullpen last year, Winebarger is a junior left-handed workhorse who has converted to a starter to lead the Hawks with 42.2 innings pitched. Hamilton is Higgins’ most versatile player as he is the closer and starts in right field. With a fastball that can reach 90 MPH, the Elon commit has been lights out on the mound as he has allowed just one run in 20 innings pitched for a team-leading 0.35 ERA. “I just want to hit the zone, work with my catcher, and hit the mitt,” Hamilton said. “If I pound the zone and hit the spots that I want to hit, then I know that my fielders will get my back.” Christopher, a Virginia Tech commit, and Lillard are two impactful relievers. Higgins said of Lillard, “He’s a kid that’s really just
starting to kind of come into his own and make himself known within the state and within the East Coast, and we’re excited about his future.” Behind the plate, sophomores Justin Summers and Benjy Cardone share the catching duties. Summers, a University of Dayton commit, starts most nights with Cardone playing frequently at second base. Sophomore Luke Craddock plays first base while junior Jonah Carlson splits time with Cardone at second. Craddock, an East Carolina University commit, bats fourth and leads the team with 33 RBI. The shortstop is sophomore Joey Rogers, a returnee who started at short for much of their title-winning season as a freshman and bats second. Rounding out the infield is senior Ryan Gimbel at third, an Eastern Mennonite signee who typically bats sixth. As for the outfield, sophomore Brooks Graham starts in left field and bats fifth where his .419 batting average leads the team. Patrolling center field is the senior leadoff hitter Blagen Pado, who signed with Longwood University. Playing in right field is Hamilton,
LOUDOUN COUNTY (1) Bailey Hill, RHP, Sr.
ARLINGTON COUNTY (1) Jonah Carlson, 2B, Jr.
CLARKE COUNTY (1) Dagan Kitner, RHP, Jr.
who bats third. A slugger, Hamilton is tied with Craddock for the team lead in home runs with four and is second with 26 RBI. “If you go up with the right approach, it can help you in a lot of ways. So, I go up with just staying simple, don’t try to crush the ball,” Hamilton said. “If I just stay simple, I can just let the speed of the pitcher and my strength do the work.” Needing two more wins to repeat as state champions, Highland is on the doorstep of immortality. “We can’t get ahead of ourselves. We have to play our ball, not try to do too much. Just play for us as a team,” Hamilton said. “We would say the Hawk way. Just play the Hawk way.” Highland faces No. 4 Steward School on Friday in the semifinals at Shepherd Stadium in Colonial Heights. The final is Saturday at 2 p.m. Should both Highland and No. 2 seed Greenbrier win their semis, it would create a rematch of the last two state finals.

18 OBITUARIES
Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | May 18, 2023
OBITUARIE S Obituaries Death Notice
John E King Jr John E King Jr, a longtime resident of Warrenton, passed away May 1 at home, surrounded by family. following a long lifetime of happiness and accomplishments. John was born in San Pedro CA on June 12, 1931, to John E King Sr, a naval officer, and Viola (Jackson) King, a homemaker. He was the older brother to Robert and Roger. The family moved frequently due to the elder King's naval service. John attended Fork Union Military Academy near Charlottesville for 4th and 5th grade, along with his 2 brothers, which allowed his mother to travel to visit John Sr. when he was in port. He had many fond memories of his time there. Following his graduation from high school in 1951, with a very low draft number, John chose to enlist in the Navy serving on the USS Sea Leopard during the Korean War. He preferred subs to the cruisers because the food budget was higher allowing him to eat steak more often, and on a smaller sub, he knew everyone on board and meals were served family style. After his service he enrolled in the Milwaukee School of Engineering, an all-male school, specifically so he "would not be distracted" by women in his classes. However, when Eleanor Moore visited her family in Milwaukee, who ran a grocery store and boarding house where John worked and lived while in school, his plan soon failed. He received his associate degree in Radio and TV Technology, and after their marriage, they spent 2 years in the Philippines and Japan with their children Mark and Diane where John maintained and upgraded US defense facilities. Upon returning to the US, John completed his Electrical Engineering degree in Milwaukee and accepted a position with IBM at The Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville AL. He really enjoyed his time working on the Saturn Space Program. Later he moved to Gaithersburg MD and eventually Manassas VA with IBM where he received 2 patents for the automation of the procurement and contracting process and for the creation of a computer-based catalog and ordering system. John retired from IBM in 1991 at the age of 60. John and Eleanor enjoyed many cruises over the years to the Caribbean with neighbors and "The Canadians". For John's birthday his daughter Diane gave him a flying lesson at the Manassas airport which rekindled an old desire to fly. Over the years he developed significant skills working with wood and metal, and he proceeded to build an experimental aircraft, a Kitfox Model 4. He organized trips with other pilots of similar airplanes, and flew to Alaska (twice), the Canadian Maritime provinces, and the Bahamas. He built a second airplane, a Kitfox Model 6 which won a Lindbergh award at the annual EA convention in Oshkosh. With his son Mark, John also built a fishing boat and numerous other wood items-furniture, a chess set, and several clocks. In his later years, he developed an interest in very fine woodworking, and created a number of segmented bowls and 50 pieces of intarsia, most of which had hundreds of pieces. John is survived by many friends and family, including his daughter, Dr. Diane King (David Dodd), his daughter-in-law Connie King, his grandchildren Curtis King (Joseph Houchens) and Jessica King (Cody Rundlett), and great great grandchildren, Jordyn and Alexis King, his beloved dog Remy, and many Canadian relatives.

Patricia A (Pat) Leonard Patricia A (Pat) Leonard (86) of Midland VA peacefully departed this earthly life surrounded by family on May 9, 2023. Pat's wisdom and sage advice will be missed by her children, John L Leonard, Diane L Beecherl and Jeff A Leonard (Patty), her grandchildren, Jeremy Messick (Dawn), Jonathan Messick (Rhonda), Sarah A Leonard (Mike), Kate L Henson (Jackson) and Elizabeth Noonan (David), and her great grandchildren Jordan Wood, Shawn Messick, Allison Kritzer, Dempsey Noonan and Brooks Henson. She is also survived by her brothers, Edward Higgs and Jimmy Higgs, her sister Betty E Richardson (John) and her confidante and Sister-in-Law Pegi Schervish and special niece Donna Jo Case (George). She is predeceased by her parents Basil Edwards and Eva Alice Helm Edwards and her sister Linda Sue Edwards. The family wishes to express our special thanks to Pat's caregivers, Hirut Getahun and Monica Owuso, for their dedication and service. Practically a lifelong resident of Midland Va, Pat was the epitome of the hard-working farm wife having established Al-Mara Farm Inc with her husband of 61 years, Ronald E Leonard who predeceased her in 2015. She fed baby calves on the family dairy farm and rescued a multitude of kittens. She delivered lunches and equipment parts to half of the corn fields in Midland. She rose to the challenge and learned how to use a computer for keeping the farm books and records. Pat was a lifelong learner and a voracious reader, always looking to learn and understand more about her pastimes and current events. Those pastimes included reading, gardening, flowers, sewing and quilting. She filled her home with mystery novels, quilts, flowers, and glorious fabric for the next project. Throughout her life she shared herself and her knowledge by being a volunteer judge at the Fauquier County Fair as well as fairs in the surrounding counties. She also was a member and volunteered at the Virginia Quilt Museum for many years. Pat donated several of her oldest and most precious family quilts to the museum for all to enjoy. Pat was a passionate animal lover and took great joy in bird watching and feeding her feathered friends during the winter. She also loved her miniature goats and laying hens, naming them after TV and movie characters. Maggie and Reba were truly "Lucky Dogs" to be chosen as Pat's full-time companions. To honor Pat's giving nature, in lieu of flowers the family request donations be made in her memory to the Fauquier SPCA 9350 Rogues Rd, Midland, Va. 22728 Services and burial will be private.

Vernie E. Dawson "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matthew 25:21 Vernie Edward Dawson of Sumerduck, VA, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his loving family, on May 12, 2023. He was just sixteen days shy of his 90th birthday on May 28. He loved Jesus best followed by his dear wife and family. Vernie is predeceased by his six siblings: brothers Joe Dawson, James Dawson, and Wes Dawson, and sisters Josie Gough, Lucy Dawson, and Becky Lomax. He is also predeceased by his son Stanley Dawson, his parents Hayward and Grace Dawson, his grandson Larry Dawson Jr., and his great-grandson Ja'Marion Dawson. Vernie married the love of his life, Georgia Furr Dawson, on September 19, 1954 in Fauquier County and they have spent 68 faithful years together. Georgia survives, as do his sons Larry (Fran) Dawson of Front Royal, David (Darlene) Dawson of Orange, and his daughter Janet (Bobby) Caplinger of Sumerduck. Also surviving are 21 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren. Vernie's greatest joy came from serving his Lord and his family. He ministered in his church, Catlett Assembly of God, as a deacon, bus driver, generous supporter of missions, and a powerful prayer warrior. He was most recently a member of Family Community Church in Culpeper. Vernie was not able to finish school, but as a young child began supporting his family through the hard work of his own hands. He was strong, steady, and dependable as he for worked VDOT, Lane Metal Products in Bealeton, Prince William County, and RC Construction. He loved and lived the Word of God and could be heard at all hours calling the names of everyone he knew in prayer. His final words on this side of eternity were to his beloved wife, "I love you." The life of this humble man can best be described by one word: faithful. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4: 7-8.

Maryjane F. Leonard May 23, 1945 - April 19, 2023
Maryjane F. Leonard of Spring Valley, California died peacefully in her home with her beloved husband, Jack, and her children by her side on April 19, 2023 following a courageous battle with cancer. She leaves behind an enduring legacy of love and service to others. Whether you called her Jane, Janie, Mom or Grandma you knew what defined her – Faith, Family, Flag and Friends. Janie was born on May 23, 1945 in New York City, the third child of nine children, to US Army COL Joseph H. Felter and Mrs. Rosanne Bautz Felter. Her father’s military career sent their tight-knit family across the country and on several accompanied tours to Europe until they settled in McLean, Virginia for her last two years of high school at Bishop O’Connell where she made lifelong friends. Janie was extremely proud of her family and easily took to the role of second mother to her younger siblings. When she left home to start her own family, she stayed close to all the Felters and despite the challenges of geography went to great lengths to make sure her own children knew their roots. Following high school graduation, she put college on hold and went to work at Georgetown University in the Finance Office. Not long after, her sister Patti set her up on a date with Jim Lock, a student at the University. He was an ROTC candidate in the middle of the Vietnam War. Following his graduation, they married and he shipped off to Vietnam for two years. Jane and Jim were reunited in Germany in 1967. For the next 25 years, they crisscrossed the country and the world with his military career and along the way welcomed nine children, seven daughters and two sons. Jane excelled as a military wife and mother of her ever-growing flock. Each new transfer brought its own challenges but Jane settled her family into new schools, neighborhoods, the local parish and sports leagues with grace and ease by first introducing herself and her family and then asking how she could volunteer her time and many talents. Cub Scout leader, soccer coach, PTO president, chair of too many fundraisers to list were just some of the roles Jane took on as she moved around the country. In 1978, she moved her family to Tehran, Iran for a three-year accompanied tour that ended abruptly with a late-night evacuation of her and her six children onto one of the last civilian flights to leave, just as the Islamic Revolution engulfed the country. Jim had to stay behind and Jane landed back in the States with two suitcases and six young children. She settled her family in Virginia, first McLean and then Montclair, where they lived for the next 17 years. She welcomed her last three daughters, contributed in so many ways to her beloved St. Francis of Assisi Parish, and started working as a part-time bookkeeper to help support her large family with a particular goal of sending her children to Catholic high schools. In a wonderful return to her own childhood, five of her daughters attended Bishop O’Connell High School. Jane never gave up on her own educational goals. After family and faith, she believed education was the difference maker for the individual. When she sent her youngest off to kindergarten and with her oldest children already holding college degrees, she started night school. For five years she juggled a house full of kids, a daytime job as a bookkeeper and undergraduate course work. In 1997, she earned her college degree at the age of 52. She did not stop there. In 1997, Jane began
a new chapter of life. Her first marriage had ended but she met the love of her life, Jack Leonard, a retired US Navy Captain. They moved to San Diego to start a new life together. In San Diego, Jane went on to earn an MBA at San Diego State University and then a doctorate in Education Technology from the University of San Diego. She launched a new career in government contracting first with ACS and then with Booz Allen Consulting where she would stay for the next 17 years until she finally retired at 75. Jane thrived at Booz Allen rising to become a program manager where she led teams engaged in multi-year contract implementations for the US Navy. Her closest manager described her as “model employee” fully dedicated to her clients and her teammates. She especially enjoyed her role as career manager for junior Booz Allen associates. One such associate described Jane as his Booz Allen Mom that got him through plenty of tough days. Jane embraced the Booz Allen commitment to community engagement and was involved in outreach initiatives supported by her company. She took the firm’s relationship with Hoover High School in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego to a new level with hands on programming that covered areas from technology to nutrition. She was also an ardent supporter of the college scholarship program for standout students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Booz Allen presented Jane with the VIP Award, the firm’s highest award recognizing an employee’s outstanding contributions to client service, team development and volunteer engagement. In San Diego, Jane continued to live her “service before self ” ethos through her and Jack’s commitment in the broader community. Together they supported many activities for the wounded warrior rehabilitation program at Balboa Naval Hospital and were consistent volunteers for STEP (Support the Enlisted Project). They were active members of their parish Santa Sophia in Spring Valley and in retirement, Jane volunteered her time as a weekly counter for the offertory collection. Not many beyond her family knew that Jane was an accomplished, self-taught, seamstress. In the early days, she made Easter dresses for her daughters, bassinet bedding for each new baby and countless costumes for Halloween or All Saints Day. As her children settled into their own homes, she would show up with her sewing machine and make window drapes, hand towels and table linens. Of all the things she sewed, baby blankets were by far her favorite and the closest to her heart. Each new grandchild was swaddled in handmade blankets from Grandma. These were delivered in person as Jane traveled to meet each of her new grandchildren and provide much needed help to the new parents. This was no small commitment as she welcomed 30 grandchildren into the world coast to coast over the last 20 years of her life. Despite the distance, she and Jack made every effort to be present for all the sacraments, graduations and major moments in their grandchildren’s lives. Not a birthday or holiday went by without a gift from Grandma. Jane was an avid reader and her favorite place to do that was the beach whether in San Diego or her and Jack’s beach house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Card games were another favorite past time. She was a consummate bridge player in the early days and later on she loved playing and besting her grandchildren at the card games they taught her. With her recent retirement, they looked forward to traveling the country for longer trips spent with grandchildren but her cancer diagnosis in October 2021 cut that short. Never losing hope, she forged ahead with a grueling treatment protocol and maximized time with family. In September 2022, she traveled to Virginia to attend the promotion ceremony of her son to brigadier general. In the context of her life lived in, around and
for the military, it was an incredible moment for her and her entire family. In her last weeks and as Jane sensed her time on earth coming to end, she continued to set beautiful examples for her family. Each day she prayed, as she always did for others who she knew “needed some extra strength to face whatever is to come” With the help of her daughters, she closed out a grass-roots baby blanket making project she had started during the pandemic with fellow parishioners. Together they donated hundreds of blankets and bibs to Birthline of San Diego County. Jane Leonard was a powerful force of good in this world. She will be deeply missed by so many but especially by her family that love her so very much. Mom, we know you are in Heaven, now our guardian angel, continuing to pray for us. Jane is preceded in death by her parents, COL and Mrs. Joseph H. Felter, and her oldest brother, COL Joseph H. Felter, Jr. She is survived by her loving husband, CAPT John A. Leonard (US Navy, Ret.), her seven siblings – Dr. Patricia A. Smith (David) of Tulsa, Ok, Dr. Robert A. Felter (Conchita) of Puerto Rico, John K. Felter, Esq. (Linda) of Cambridge, MA, Suzanne Lippe of Mahawa, NJ, Diane Maestri of McLean, VA, James M. Felter of Washington, DC and Christine Felter (Scott) of Portland, OR.
