DEDICATION

		I dedicate my program and my year to my loved, and terribly missed deceased parents,
Kenneth W. Mangelsdorf, Past Grand Guardian of the Grand Lodge of California and 
Martha O. Mangelsdorf, Past Grand Matriarch of the Grand Ladies Encampment Auxiliary of California
and Past President of Rebekah Assembly of Virginia.  They were two of the finest Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, and human beings you could ever know.
They taught us so much about the order and were always there to lend a hand or assist any one for any reason at any time.
	I miss you mom and dad. To my husband Jack, who without I would be so lost in so many ways,
thank you for your love and support through the years,
to our children Brandi and Mandi. We are so blessed to have two such loving and giving children and Egann, our grandson, 
who gives us so much joy in our lives.  And Ryan, our son-in-law who has been serving our country in the Navy mostly 
overseas these past few years and who will soon be leaving for a one year tour in Iraq.  Our love and prayers are with you Ryan.
Also, to All of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs that have come before us, shared their knowledge, wisdom and interest with us, 
and to those that come after us, so WE can share our knowledge, wisdom and interest with them.
