R.I.P. Jack Pendleton (1928-2009)

Cubpack 48, Coffeyville scouting, and all local BSA have had a profound and saddening shock this week, as Jack Pendleton passed away unexpectedly at home on Feb 8th. Jack was a tremendous supporter and friend of Scouting, having served as Pack 48 Secretary/Treasurer for many years.I had the privelege of attending Jack's funeral service last Wednesday, and it was an inspirational and moving ceremony with many Scouters attending in uniform. Jack was an invaluable asset to our pack and to Scouting in general and will be sorely missed. Please keep Maryann, Dona, and all of Jack's family in your thoughts and prayers.
