I just read that Alona R***r has passed away.
She was a long-time member of the Historical Society and board member back in the 1970's when I served. She was an incredible supporter of the society and a very detailed treasurer when she served in that position (I could hardly understand the intricate reports she provided).
What a wonderful person.
She will be missed.
