Sponsored by long time Redtone Scott Pontya in Fall of 2012 at Irvine Lakes, at the request of John “I Know People” Ziagos, became the Webmaster for the Billy Holcomb 1069 Chapter in January 2019, he was titled “Grand Noble Nerd Extraordinaire” by some Greybeard in a red shirt. Soon after taking the responsibilities of “Keeper of the List” & “Protector of the Archives”; and when the chapter had a calling for someone to control and train officers in the delicate art of credit card processing, he answered their wails and whimpers with his final title … “The Clusterfuck Coordinator”.

Brian Gene Gentry, beloved owner of Emma Jean’s Holland Burger in Victorville, California, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2024 at the age of 58. Born on July 6, 1965, Brian was a cherished member of the Victorville community, known for his warm hospitality and dedication to serving delicious food.
Brian and his wife Shawna own Emma Jean’s Holland Burger Cafe on Route 66 in Victorville. Emma Jean’s was plaqued by XNGH Cass Ellsworth in 2011. Brother Brian was a true Holcomb Clamper, and he and Shawna welcomed many a Red Shirt from near and far to enjoy their great food and hospitality. Slippery Gulch will miss his hail.
