ERAPPA History

In 2023, Sheri Vucci, serving as the ERAPPA President at the time, established an Ad Hoc Committee tasked with compiling the history of ERAPPA. Over the course of 2023 and 2024, significant progress was made as the committee diligently unearthed and structured a substantial portion of this historical content. The committee comprised former ERAPPA Presidents: Joe Rubertone (1995), Michael Sofield (2002), Norm Young (2003), Dan Gearan (2013), Dale DeBlois (2015), Steve Peary (2017), along with ERAPPA Secretary Jon Terry (2016-2024). Their collective efforts ensured that vital information was preserved for posterity, preventing it from fading into obscurity.
