Paul Neumann and Dan Reilly, two Bremerton Northern Model Railroad Club members, will be missed.

Paul, 58, died of natural causes on May 3^rd. Paul was a long time member of the BNMRR club. He was serving as Sergeant at Arms in the club at the time of his passing. Paul proudly served in the US Navy. He was a storekeeper and qualified in submarines. He retired from Puget Sound Naval Supply Center (PSNS) as a Chief Petty Officer. Paul served on board the USS Pogy SSN 647, USS Georgia SSBN 729 and the USS Louisville SSN 724. Paul was an avid railfan and was seen at hot spots taking pictures. I rode with him to the Monroe swap meet and I accused him of driving the railfan route. He was a collector and we always looked forward to his latest acquisition.

Remember: Your 4D ballot must be in the mail by May 1 in order to be counted. Find it, complete it, fold it, stamp it, mail it. Now. While you’re thinking of it.

You should have received in the U.S. mail your ballot for the 4D’s current election. Before you forget, vote and then follow the instructions on the ballot to return it to your Elections Committee.

We’ve received many ballots already, but we want your vote, too!

The deadline is May 1.
