In Memoriam
SI of Los Angeles has recently lost an amazing friend and supporter, Jim Henderson. For years, Jim worked behind the scenes for so many of our club and Region activities as our photographer, IT support, program design, and audio visual engineer. He worked tirelessly making sure our activities had a professional flare, and also worked to educate our members on safe computer practices and fraud prevention. Jim was always there when we needed him. We will miss him tremendously.
