It is with great sadness that the Chapter marks the passing of Joe Mannix, a member of the NRHS and Philadelphia Chapter for over 70 years. Joe's legacy will live on in his family and friends as well as in the numerous articles, books, artwork and photographs that he has left us. Future generations will always be much richer for his devotion to the hobby.

Memorial tributes can be found here, here and here.
