Sad News Dept:
Again, it is with deep regret that we announce the passing of long time Leland personality and former Yacht Club Commodore Bill Bolinger. He was a good friend to all of us and sailed the lake with my Mom, Joanne for many years. Bill had an infectious smile and was always a pleasure to be around. Smooth sailing, Bill!
