Sister Boom Boom and JCC: Difference between revisions

(This is Jack Fertig correcting a few factual errors. And is that pic really me? It's a very atypical look. Still... not bad, and thanks for including me!)
(Removed a picture that was identified as Sister Boom Boom but is not. I also removed a sentence claiming that the Order was founded in Iowa City in 1979 as this is also incorrect.)
