Two of our chapter members have done more than to support our Scholarship Fund than all others. “Back in the Day”, then Chapter President Chuck Schluter tapped Lt. Colonel Bernie Conway to put together a golf tournament. Our first golf tournament was held on the 1st of May 1999. In 2005, Colonel Pat Dale took over the reins, expanding our golf tournament to include corporate sponsorship. Between the two of them, along with the support and assistance of their wives, Judy Conway and Patricia Dale, they have spent countless hours planning and running the golf tournaments that are a mainstay of our Fund’s solvency. We are forever indebted to them for their leadership and hard work. In 2019, after 14 years at the helm, Pat gave up the Chair of the Golf Tournament to Navy Commander Jack Farley.
