BOBA lost one of our long-time founding members of the VBOB Lehigh Valley Chapter this week, Lionel Adda (99 INFD 393 REG). Chapter president Steve Savage said, “He was one of the Mainstays in our education program almost from the very beginning and spoke to hundreds of students and adults over the years. We shall miss him, his wit, his guidance, and his friendship.”

Lionel Adda
99 INFD

On his birthday (January 17, 2021), Lionel sent us an article he wrote for our “Bulge Memories” column which is printed in the The Bulge Bugle^®  Winter magazine. We wish he could have seen it in print, but we are so glad he recorded his experiences so that we could share his memories. Lionel was 99 years old. Condolences to family and all his friends in Lehigh Valley VBOB.
