On Sunday, April 14, 2024, Post Member, Angelo V. Anatra, passed away and reported to Post Everlasting. Angelo Anatra was know as "Jim Anatra" at our Post. Jim held a number of officer postions at our Post. He organized a number of parties and events at our Post. He helped in the organization of our Post kitchen area and he helped out in numerous construction projects at our Post. He was in charge of our "Movie Night" at the Post and when he wanted be to play a tape, he said to me "Mr. DeMille" please play the tape", that was Jim Anatra in a nutshell, a personable human being with a gruff personality. He was a valuable asset to our Post and will be greatly missed.
