Long time member Reho Barron died a couple weeks ago, and then our President, Linda Calahan passed away a few days later. It's sad to lose them both. Many current members didn't know Reho, but I remember a couple of art events at her house. She will be missed.
Linda Calahan was known by all of the current members, and many of them sent a quick email rememberance:

Each time I think of Linda, I find a tear in my eye. She was such a loving person and so talented. Losing her on September 20, 2024 was such a shock.
