OUR LOSS HEAVENS GAIN

In just the last 2 days we have received scores of e mails about the passing of Maria Bernardi, I hope you have all taken the time to read the magnificent tributes by Greg Oliver and Kurt Nielsen. You can access them from from this home page. Those of us who have known her for 25 plus years knew what you saw was what you got,she was unique and one of a kind I will miss the weekly phone calls to her, by now her and Mike are probably looking up Art Abrams to start a chapter of the CAC there, The Cauliflower Alley was her life, and we are all better off for her tireless efforts for the last 40 years.

In closing on a very sad note, our first lady,MARIA BERNARDI, membership number 3 has had a major cerebal hemmorage and is fighting for her life in Ceders hospital in Los Angeles, your prayers and thoughts for her are most appreciated. She is 81 years old and a fighter all the way. A member from day one and has only missed the last reunion due to illness, we hope she will not miss another, the CAC has been her life for the 41 years.
