CITATION

In the world of rhododendrons, you have contributed quietly and unselfishly through the years as a hybridizer, explorer, collector, teacher, leader, author, speaker, photographer, show judge and friend. Your accomplishments at the chapter, regional, national and international levels have significantly extended the horizons of rhododendrons throughout the world. Your willingness to share yourself as a rhododendron person and your hours of time volunteered to rhododendrons have stimulated the interest of many and promoted the genus Rhododendron .
As an expression of the American Rhododendron Society's respect and appreciation for these many contributions, it is a pleasure to present the Society's highest honor and recognition, the Gold Medal Award, to you, Dr. David Goheen, on this thirteenth day of May 1988, Williamsburg, Virginia.
