Bronze Medal Awards

VALLEY FORGE CHAPTER
Fred S. Winter, M.D. and Barbara Winter
During Dr. Winter's two-year terms as President of the Chapter, membership showed a healthy growth and programs were vastly improved. Fred's constant encouragement of member participation in meetings, flower shows, plant exchanges, and garden tours has helped make membership in the chapter a very pleasant experience. His sharing of plant material, his wide horticultural interest and accomplishments and his enthusiasm for rhododendrons and azaleas are appreciated by all. He has had the full cooperation and support of his lovely wife, Barbara. Each year they open their gardens and home to the membership for the summer meeting and picnic. At "Company Farm" we find a gorgeous landscape where hundreds of rhododendrons and azaleas grow in harmony with many species and varieties of other genera. We are also greatly indebted to Barbara for her outstanding leadership in the publication of "A Guide for the Hungry Gardener."
