In the death of Franklin L, Burns and R. Brognard Okie the Tredyffrin-Easttown History Club lost in the space of a few weeks, the friendly service and companionship of two of its oldest and most useful members. It has therefore been deemed fitting to dedicate this number of The Quarterly to their memories.
