The Sotoyome American Legion Family
gathered at the Villa Chanticleer on Saturday evening, March 14, 2015, to
celebrate the 95th anniversary of the organization. Pictured above are Senior Past Commander Manual
Lownes (1965 & 1968), Auxiliary Past
President Bettie Crandall (1986 & 1996) and current Commander Tom
Grimes. Manual and Bettie are both WWII
Veterans. Bettie is holding a picture of
Herman Jr. Vellutini, who was lost off Guadalcanal when his ship was
sunk on August 9, 1942, with all hands.. His picture has been added to the Missing in
Action/Prisoner of War Memorial Table as a reminder of the sacrifices of those
who served before us. (Photo by Harold Bagdonas)
