With sadness. we report that Tom Spitler recently passed away. He had to step down from his Ray Scholar Coordinator position due to serious illness earlier this year. Tom was very dedicated to the Ray Scholar program which was a shining bright spot among our other successful youth activities. He stepped up to volunteer shortly after the program started and he sheparded us and our scholars expertly through the program. His dedication really put us on the map with EAA. He will be missed.
