Dear All, It is with sadness that I tell you of the passing of longtime PBS member Pat Bender of Lake Forest Park, WA. Pat was a frequent participant in the BX and always included a friendly note with her order. I had the pleasure of meeting her and her husband John last year in Portland. Pat was an active member of a number of plant organizations, including NARGS. She will be missed by many. Best wishes, Dell Dell Sherk, PBS BX
