EAP mourns the passing of NAP Past President Leonard M. Young on July 20, 2022. Len served as president from 1999-2001. He was an accomplished parliamentarian and will be long remembered and honored for his many years of leadership at all levels of NAP. Len is survived by his wife Peggy, a retired PRP, and their two children and their families. Services will be held on July 30, 2022, at the Good Shepherd Community of Christ Church in Independence, MO. (See www.speakschapel.com/memorials/leonard-young/4987376/index.php for details.)
