I'm saddened to announce the passing of Pauline Kerchner of Spring Grove, Pa., earlier today.  Pauline and Bob Kerchner were an essential part of the Club and of the Pennsylvania Dutch Chapter, for decades.  They had many friends, helped many Hudsonites, and for twenty-five years put on a well-attended Hudson meet yearly, at their home.  They had many, many friends.  A newspaper obituary isn't available yet, nor have funeral plans been announced.  I'll try to post that information when it's known.
