On behalf of the National Organization, it is sad indeed to report the loss of Brother Thayne LaBanta, Past Department Commander of Michigan, 75 year devoted member of the Order and a Real Son. In memory of his passing and the passing of all Real Sons since August 1999, all charters are ordered draped for a period of 30 days.

By Order of:
Danny L. Wheeler

Attest:
Todd A. Shillington
National Secretary
