The news of the passing of Mr. J.J. McFadden was met with great sadness yesterday (18th November 2005). J.J.'s association with the society extends back to the early days when he took to the stage in the group's first musical, "Oklahoma" in 1972. He also served time as society chairman in 1979 and between 1989 - 1991. The society would like to extend it's sympathies to his wife and two sons.
