In Memoriam

We sadly note the passing of Betty McCann in January 2008, following an extended illness. Betty was a longtime Republican activist in Alexandria, a founding member of the Commonwealth Republican Women's Club, served as ARCC Executive Director, and was a GOP candidate for the House of Delegates. Services were held Jan. 21 in Waynesboro, VA. Our thoughts and prayers are with the McCann family. (See obituary.)
