Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis I hope everyone enjoyed themselves at the golf tournament at Blackmoor Golf Club in Ohio. Congratulations to the winners and to all who took part in this weekend of fraternal activities. Thanks to the Home Office staff and all of the spotters for their help.

We are the William Penn Association. Special congratulations to Branch 34 member Beth Marie Primm who was married June 19,1999, to David Henke at St. Rosalia Church in Greenfield, Pa.

Good luck to both Beth and David. Birthday wishes for the months of June and July go out to Maria Vámos, Walter Bugielski, Yvonne and Nicole Mayor, Michael R.
