Members of PSHS and National Officers,

Please read attached e-mail from Thelma Sevilla about the sudden death of Major Urbano Quijance. For those of you that did not remember him, he attended our 23rd National Reunion in Tacoma May ,2007. There's a picture of him and Col. John Olson who met for the first time after WWII in Bataan. Col. Olson and him served in the same PS unit during the war.

Major Quijance is a PSHS life member of the Tacoma Chapter and a friend of my father. Let us pray for his family.

Best regards,
Joe Calugas, Jr.
