Our Officers and Board recognized the facts of our fading organizational life in the Chapter. Even as the military movement to retreat is considered even more difficult to execute than the attack, so too is winding down a Chapter. All of our Chapter's Officers and Board of Directors performed with skill in this matter. I have great regard for their contributions in these bittersweet months when 44 years of Chapter life was entering into abeyance. All members of our Chapter who desire to continue their social participation without administrative or leadership involvement will still have the opportunity to attend Rio Hondo or Verdugo MOAA Chapters in 2008.

Likewise our deceased first Cal-MOAA Council President in 1983 Dave Wells was a San Gabriel Chapter member. It must also be saddening for prior Chapter President, long time participant in State TROA affairs and now retiring after 9 years as Council Treasurer "Ike" Isensee. I do need to provide additional information pertaining to adjacent area Chapters. Verdugo Hills (<span style="color:#FFFF00;">Yellow area</span>)is immediately adjacent to the West. Also Mt Baldy (<span style="color:#FF66CC;">Rose area</span>)is immediately adjacent to the East and Rio Hondo (<span style="color:#00CCFF;">Light blue</span>) adjoins to the South. Riverside March Field though is nowhere in the vicinity.
