I am saddened to tell that we learned today that Apprentice Smith Robin McDonald has passed away. Robin had been an ABS member since 1997 and lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin's family and friends at this time.

The most recent issue of the Journal was returned to us in Colorado this week. Sally Cassidy keeps track of all returned Journals and sent an email to Robin's email address and this is the reply that we received this morning:

Ma'am,

I am sorry to say that my friend, Robin McDonald has passed away. That is why the journal was returned unclaimed. Please donate the journal and any unused dues, if any, to any children's charity. This email address will be shut down tomorrow. Thanks

Take Care, Bryan
