RIP Hugh Crawford
With extreme sadness that Ivan Karnezis informs us that last Friday afternoon, while working at the Sacramento Railroad Museum, Hugh Crawford had a massive heart attack and died. Hugh was a great friend, an interesting and fun conversationalist, a dependable Young Eagles worker, master BBQ chef, contributing Board Member, hard working Membership Chairman, and the one who always contacted the Chapter 526 membership. We will all miss him.
Hugh’s wife, Alice has invited all of you and past members and friends to Hugh’s Memorial at the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento: 17:00, May 2.
A dinner will be served. Please RSVP to Alice.
