Molly Grothaus, a mainstay of the chapter for 20 years, has served as board member, secretary, and lecturer; and her reports of her observations of shrubs, land, and contacts with others with interests in rhododendrons have always been most interesting. As Editor of our Quarterly Bulletin, she has shown a good sense of organization, good judgment, and careful, accurate thinking.
