HVAL mourns the recent passing of two longtime members.
David McCandless was an award-winning watercolor and pastel painter, teacher, key board member and all around friend to the League. His effortless good humor and thoughtfulness have flavored our events for many years.
Sol Zaret has been a presence in the League "forever", as he constantly supported his wife Mickey and all the rest of us in our endeavors.
