Important IKE Caretaker Update

We lost our caretaker, Bob Binder, who passed away on August 29th. Bob is survived by his wife Judi, four children, and nine grand kids. Bob faithfully served the IKES for nearly three years, replacing Casey Collier. He was a Vietnam Army veteran. Our condolences to his family. Thomas "Nate" Moore has stepped up as our new IKE caretaker. Nate has already been doing many of the duties and will segue into the role seamlessly. We welcome Nate and will help him.
