Announcing a Memorial Celebration for Gerry Merner May 10, 2014, 3 to 6 pm
Shortly before he died Gerry decided he didn’t want a formal funeral. He wanted his memorial to be an informal party in a light-filled place, and he specifically wanted all his friends from the ASBC to be there. His wife Margaret sent the following invitation, saying “Please encourage members of the Arch. Society to join us.” See you there.
– Pete Dady and the executive of the Victoria ASBC.
