club with death notices of retirees If you hear of the passing of one of our members

please let our newsletter editor Stu Mitnik know In addition to not providing death no-

tices the company will no longer provide names and addresses of recent retirees This

is going to make recruiting of new members much more difficult Again if you know of

someone who has retired recently please let Stu Mitnik or Diane Bennett know Your

club leadership is working with the other retirees clubs to bring this to the attention of

Honeywell Aerospace leadership
