"As sands of the hourglass so are the days of our lives." (Socrates). It is regrettable that  many of our members have flown West. With the reduction in membership, the Board of Directors of RNPA.org has made the decision for the web site to "fly west" as of December 31, 2025. 

We will continue to update the Memoriam Flown West directories. The Obit section will cease showing new obits as of June 15th 2025 .  Obits after June 15, 2025 can be found on the Delta web site with a link to their Obits section along with the protocle for submitting obits in the Obits Section
