Condolences to the family of Joan Airoldi, who passed away suddenly after the December BUG jam. The Community Ukulele Players (CUP) dedicated its December performance in Bellingham's Old City Hall Rotunda to Joan, a long-standing CUP member and champion for First Amendment Rights. In 2004, years before she became known as a fellow strummer, she was the director of the Whatcom County Library System who defied the FBI and challenged a grand jury subpoena, refusing to provide information on a library patron who'd borrowed a book on Osama bin Laden. Her band members will long miss her, and BUG is honored she was able to attend one final ukulele jam before the time came for her Departure.
