Lea & Anne Boyer, Our Unit President in 1992, pictured here at The Penn All-State in York,Pa. in 1990.

Lea Boyer passed away on Feb.12,2010 in Georgia. This is all the info I have, as I recieve more I will post it.
My Thoughts..... Lea & Anne met us at the York Rally(1990) and took us under their arm and care for the entire weekend. Making sure we were having fun..We did the road rally search and as Lea as driver, me as co-pilot.. Anne and Carol as backseat navigators, We traveled York County looking for answers to road questions along the way. Later at the evening ceromonies we were sworn in by "Stubby" Region 2 Pres. and Lea and Anne were by our side. Oh Yes!! We also won the Road Rally..Yea Lea and the gang!! What a sweet couple to carry us into the Airstream World of Travel..
Then Lea became President for the 1992 year ..what a leader!! Anne was there to guide him along the way! We went on a caravan to Canada taking 4 days to get there. We went to The Statue of Liberty Rally Too. Then The International was in Dayton,OH. That year. On a Caravan to Ohio with other Presidents from the Region , Lea offered to cut the watermelon snack one day, would you believe he cut right thru the fellow caravaner's table cloth...lots of laughs there. There were so many special memories of the Boyers that year. 21 club members went to Ohio, thats alot compared to today's count.
I for one will miss the Boyers in the club, the SWEETEST COUPLE ..I know!! God Bless Lea ...and be with Anne during this time! Dennis & Carol Ober #2590
