The only reason it is unofficial is because the current committee does not want to get involved with it. If you would help spread the word about the fan page to alumni, that would be great! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Troop-80/194166343953112 80, 80, Go 80! -- Jimmy Tran Troop 80 Eagle Scout 2011, Assistant Scoutmaster I would like to promote the unofficial Troop 80 Facebook Fan page.

Jim passed away on Sunday, 27 Feb 2011. I don't have any additional information to pass along. Bud Uyeda *** Jim Galbreath died in his sleep this morning at 12:20 a.m. He has spent the last few years living with dementia. Of course, it is too soon to have any word from Penny on a memorial service or any plans. I will let you know anything I find out. Please pass this information on to anyone you think should know. Say a prayer for Penny. Peace, Russ Very sad news I received from Russ Wood. Jim passed away on Sunday, 27 Feb 2011. I don’t have any additional information to pass along. Bud Uyeda

I attended the 50th year anniversary event at the park in Mountain View, along with many other Troop members, members, Charter members (myself, Ray Ward the second Charter member Eagle Scout, Craig Schwarz, and Joel Gregowski) and of course the current scouts in the Troop. I was wondering why there are no photos from that event on the website. Fifty years is a significant benchmark.....I would think it meaningful., and lasting on the website.....Jimmy Dearmire (Sp?), and Rich Ronchi also Charter members visited with Jim and his wife following that event later in the month also wishing him well.....I am sure many photos were taken, and it would be of value to see recognition of that important event on the website.......you really should make an effort to follow-up on former membership, and see what became of them and how scouting impacted their lives.....it would be of value...many do still live in Calfiornia. The first Troop 80 Eagle scout was Gerry Cavenas (Sp?) a transfer from another Troop into Troop 80. I believe he too still lives in California and became a teacher. I also have my own small set of photos and slides taken from those early years which includes the charter group traveling into the Mono Recesses, and various other locals which include shots of Jim and my father (Kenneth Hepler) the first Assistant Scout Master of the troop.....perhaps at some point they may be of interest to the alumni page.......and the Troop.....History does matter.....and should not be taken for granted. Wishing everyone well, keep it going it's worth it..... Brad Hepler 1244 Whittier Rd Grosse Pointe, MI 48230 Hello:
