 MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Each month the Galaxy Community Council profiles one of its members.  This month’s member is:

Don Ferrell – Don has been a member of the Galaxy Community Council for over 12 years; but his history at Westover goes back almost 50 years.  While stationed at Westover in 1960, Don met his wife Patricia during the Air Show (explains his love of Air Shows!).  They got married a year later at Westover.  They have two boys.  If you ever have a chance to chat with Don, make sure he tells you about some wonderful trips he and Patricia have taken – in fact he still has his 1959 Corvette that he had while stationed at Westover.  Don brags he’s driven to every state except Hawaii.  Don got involved in the Galaxy Council because he is, as he puts it “ex-Air Force, ex-Westover and a military enthusiast” as is evident in his contributions to the group over the last 12 years. 

  If you know a Galaxy member who you believe should be considered for “Member of the Month, contact Bud Shuback or Bill Sheehan.
