It is with deep regret that we inform you of the passing of John Claeson, the son of longtime MADA leader Louis Claeson.  John succumbed Monday to a brain tumor, ending a seven-year fight with the disease.  Louis worked as MADA Lobbyist and Chief Counsel beginning in October 1976 and was named Executive Vice President in July of 1991.  Louis remained MADA’s exec until October 1999.

Attached is a link to the obituary for John.
