Jay and Sue were very active at the Forum when Imogene McConnell and Ellen Benedict were. I remember taking Ellen Benedict to their 50th wedding anniversary celebration, which was a lovely event. Jay and Sue were active in SAR and DAR and were very supportive of C.A.R. They were the friendliest, best kind of people.Mae Vasey Huston Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

My job was to type (on a typewriter) all the mailing labels for each member. I kept them in a book and when it was time to mail the bulletin, Sue and Jay would swing by my house to pick up the labels. I was a stay at home mom with a little baby and Sue had found a way for me to be involved from home. They were wonderful for GFO and Jay will be missed.

Sue was my Vice Regent for five years in David Hill Chapter, DAR, and when able, Jay would bring her to meetings. Jay and Sue used to do the printing of our Yearbooks, until Jay couldn't get to the copy place anymore. Great people. Jay will be missed. -----Original Message----- From: Mae Huston <stanmae@juno.com> To: pattitwirler <pattitwirler@comcast.net> Cc: ORFORUM-D <ORFORUM-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Nov 5, 2011 2:53 pm Subject: Re: [GFO] Sad news Jay and Sue were very active at the Forum when Imogene McConnell and Ellen Benedict were.
