Obituary:

Grand Dragon Annette was one of the most spirited dragons who touched our lives in very special ways. Ricks was her pride and joy, and she did not hesitate to let anyone know how she felt about Ricks. Her contributions to Ricks Institute and to our Association cannot be quantified. As one Dragon puts it "...she was all about Ricks". She will be dearly missed.
