Our Rotary family grieves the loss of Sirawich “Jo” Chantaburanan, who lost his life this past week while coming to the aid of a friend. ‘Jo’ spent this year as an exchange student in State College, PA.  Our own club’s exchange student (Wiki) had become friends with ‘Jo’ at some of the regional meet ups. That is Jo (next to Wiki). These are such fine kids. So sorry Jo’s family and these kids are in such pain. Obituary
