Happy Birthday to Mary Murphy! At 100, she is the oldest "living" member of
WAML, albeit an Associate Member. I have a card file of WAML Dues Paid by
Mary, in 1971.
She is remembered with fondness, with the hope that the years have been all
good for her.

Founding President, WAML
& Treasurer for many years
