In Memoriam

Pat Conway became an ADCS member in 1989, when she moved to the Tucson area of Arizona. She was active with our AZ driving club, competing in ADTs, CDEs and pleasure shows for many years. Pat was one of the active club members, helping to organize the Old Pueblo CDE at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. Her presence at our events will be missed.
