Dear Friends:
Marvin Coolbaugh was our IFC Chairperson from August, 2002, until his last meeting in June, 2006. He was diagnosed with brain and lung tumors within days after that last meeting, and fought the good fight for 10 months after that, passing on in early March, 2007. He's moved on to his next challenges now, and many of us have shared stories, laughs and tears with him and with each other over the last year. He was a wonderful chairperson, and carried on the process when there was no one else to do the work. He volunteered his time, his money, and his skills to this project, all without any repayment except for our gratitude.
This website was built by him, and maintained by him over the first 5 years or our organization with little help and small thanks. It was in his heart, and we thank him, a million times over, for the good he has done!
Thank you, Marvin. You are in a better place, and I'm sure you are causing plenty of trouble THERE, too!!!
