In Memoriam
Ben Bainbridge
Ben was born and raised in Noranda, a small mining town in Northern Quebec, Canada. He attended College Militaire Royal and The Royal Military College of Canada. Upon graduation, he joined the Canadian Air Force, where he flew the CF-100. Not wanting to give up flying, Ben joined United Airlines in 1966 and flew for them until 2001, retiring off the 747. He loved golfing, billiards, skiing, and being in the outdoors. Ben is greatly missed by many friends and family, but especially by his wife Debby, two daughters, and his grandson Killian.
Virgil Berry
Born in Texas, Virgil grew up in the Sacramento area. He attended American River College while being a member of the National Guard. After marrying Pam, they lived in Vacaville, where he worked at Mare Island Shipyard. Virgil was a good friend who enjoyed socializing with friends and spending time with his family. He was passionate about Corvettes, starting with his first in 1959 and his newest in 2023. He and Pam enjoyed traveling in their RV and later going on tours and cruises. He belonged to the Sports Car Club, Gardening, and Table Tennis groups. His kindness and smile will be missed.
Dennis William Fischer
Growing up on a farm in North Dakota in a family of thirteen children, Dennis embarked on a journey of faith as a Salvatorian novitiate and seminarian. However, he ended up joining the Air Force. He held many jobs and retired in 2006 after 23 years in the IT Department at U.C. Davis, a job he took until a better one came along, but ended up loving it. The biggest leap of faith, though, was when he married Kay since they were each single parents of three boys. His love of family and sense of humor will be missed, especially by Kay and their six sons and eight grandchildren.
James (Jim) Phillips
Born in Wyoming, Jim attended Catholic schools until eighth grade, and then his family moved to Los Angeles. In 1952, Jim was drafted into the Army and served in Korea. He was awarded multiple medals. He met and married Alice during this time. They moved to Campbell, where Jim worked for Lockheed Martin. Moving again, he purchased a hardware store in Garden Valley and ended his career at the Post Office. Jim was active in the St. Joseph Church in Lincoln, working with St Vincent de Paul and other church ministries. Jim is greatly missed by his wife of 68 years, their six children, fifteen grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Howell (Hal) Smith
Hal grew up in Charlotte, Tennessee. He attended radio broadcasting school before embarking on a lifelong career in radio. Working at some of the most significant stations in the country, Hal started as an on-air personality before moving up to station management. A person of faith, Hal was active at the United Methodist Church of Lincoln and an avid member of the golfing “Renegades” until his passing. Married for 62 years, Hal was preceded in death by his adored wife, Sue, and leaves behind three children, three grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He was a kind, gentle man who always had a handshake, a story, and a smile for everyone.

Amateur Radio
We welcomed new member Phil, N6MWC. Phil comes to us from Fremont and looks forward to reacquainting himself with amateur radio after a long hiatus.

Ballroom Dance
Our Club is providing instruction for the West Coast swing during April. Also, on Saturday, April 13, we held our Spring Pot Luck. The potluck had a Hawaiian theme. Photos are posted on our website. Kimerer LaMothe, Ph.D presented the following benefits of dance in a
Psychology Today article. When we dance, we practice paying attention to patterns of movement, those of other people as well as our own. Eventually we get better at recognizing certain patterns and combinations. In watching and recreating movement patterns, we develop an enhanced sensory awareness. As our physical capacity grows, so does the range of patterns we are able to share and express, and so does our enjoyment of dance.

Our semester concludes with three insightful Book Reviews related to Cities on April 29, followed by a riveting discussion on May 6 about Ancient Beijing, an unparalleled metropolis boasting imperial grandeur and rich history.

Bird
We are having an active season with a variety of field trips, near and far. One of the best things about birding is that you can do it practically anywhere you are. In March, we went to Bobelaine Sanctuary about 23 miles west of here along the Feather River. On April 26, we are going to Traylor Ranch Sanctuary, between Lincoln and Loomis, only ten minutes away. There are lots
to see right here at home too! The group meets at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month at P-Hall (KS). We always have an interesting program, and everybody is welcome.

students say the class leaves them feeling healthier, stronger, and with better balance. There’s more. Her students also say their core feels stronger from upper body movements, and their arms feel and look better from veil work. Ellen teaches the ancient moves and rhythms of belly dancing. Through free dancing, each student’s own “dance persona” emerges. Come join the Belly Dance group and let your own dance persona shine!

Aviation photography was the topic for March. ‘Moose’ Peterson introduced us to the basics of photographing static aircraft, ground-to-air, and finally, the art of photographing air-to-air missions. We’re looking forward to upcoming airshows! Truman Holtzclaw will do a presentation on shadows in photography for April. Truman always packs the room with his outstanding deliveries. A group of us joined together to participate in an online course on smartphone photography. We paired the videos with in-person meetings to discuss what we learned and share results. Pairing perfectly with the course,
Les Thomas conducted a SIG on Smartphone flower photography. Les gave us fabulous tips on how to photograph flowers using unusual angles, diffused light, water droplets, and many other creative tips.

This must be stopped! How will these “old hams” tap into their creative acting skills to thwart a scheme that could leave them homeless? The four shows play

The curtain has now closed on our spring production, “Everybody Dance Now!,” leaving behind pleasant memories. We thank all who joined us in experiencing the magic of dance. From the dancers whose feet tapped out melodies to the singers who filled the air with harmonies, from the director’s vision to the producers’ support and the choreographers’ creativity, every contributor played an invaluable role. Let’s not forget the unsung heroes - the technical crew - who ensured seamless
performances night after night. It was truly a team effort. In recognition of their dedication, the Tap Company hosted a cast party with a buffet and live music - a delightful conclusion to all the hard work put in to making the show a success.
