Dear LCLA Members, It is with deep sadness that I let you know that Marty Weber passed away earlier today. I am sure that you are aware that he has been very sick over the last few weeks and I don’t have any further details at this time, but I thought that you should know since he cared so much about the LCLA organization. Marty was a true friend, leader and warrior. His love for LCLA and Airmen was unmatched and will be sorely missed. We will keep you updated as we get details about any services. Please keep the Weber family in your thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Bruce
