A great loss in Albia Community & Eagles. A Charter Member, David Reed, passed away February 14. He was very instrumental in setting up the Charter in Albia and has been a member since. He was Iowa State Madam Treasurer Bobbi Jo's Great Uncle, friend, and all- around great guy to talk to since the passing of her Grandpa in 2009. He and Uncle Ray, a PWP multiple times, were extremely close and bonded together even more after the passing of her Grandpa he was the oldest of 8. All family mentioned are charter members in Albia.
