Recognizing Achievement

 

Since our last message we have lost two long-time supporters — Jeanne Curtis and Juliet Libby. Jeanne Curtis was a former member of our committee working as a liaison/mentor to our scholars and, upon retirement, continued as a long-time generous supporter. Juliet (Julie) Libby was a long-time faithful supporter of our efforts. She and her husband Darald were among the original significant contributors. The tradition continued up to her passing.
