Sadly, I must report the loss of the Society’s oldest member. Michael Burke Flynn of El Paso Texas, passed away at home on October 26, 2020. Michael was 100 years old. He joined the Society in 1937, 83 years ago. His daughter Bonnie, tells us that each year Michael insisted on renewing his membership in the Society. On behalf of the LSNY, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences to the entire Flynn family and to the friends of Michael Burke Flynn. The full obituary is here.
