One of the traditions of the monthly chapter meetings is continued discussions at the National Press Club bar. And behind that bar was the familiar and friendly face of Richard McClary.
As of Dec. 31, Richard will no longer serve up our favorite beverages. He is retiring.
Chapter member Bill McCloskey wrote a very nice note about Richard for the National Press Club. See it (and a nice picture of Richard with some SPJ stalwarts) at: Reliable Source Bartender Richard McClary to Retire Thursday
