There is an incident that I should have brought to your attention before. On March 21, 2011, a memorial service was held here in Buckfield, ME for my husband, Earl F. Turner, who passed away on March 14, 2011. Edward Deverell, as president of VBOB Tri-State (VT-NH-ME) Chapter 17, made the trip all the way across part of NH and ME to attend.

There is not an East-West direct highway, so it is a time-consuming journey! —And I did not realize that another VBOB member had informed Chapter 17 of Earl’s demise. I was grateful for Ed’s presence, and I do believe it was “beyond the call of duty.”

And to make it more interesting, as Ed was about to head homeward, an unexpected snow started falling. —So over two years later, my thanks still go out to Edward Deverell.

Sincerely,
Florence C. Turner, Associate

PS. Believe that Edward Deverell is an associate member and that his father was a BOB vet.
