And yet another team of diggers.
Club President Ed Herringshaw and Alcee Favaron. Little did we know that in just over a month, we would be mourning the passing of Alcee. Here he is with Ed, doing what he loved, with the flowers and folks that he loved so much. |
Here is most of the digging

While Ed stands ready, Paul Tyler, club past president, is making sure that the plants are correctly tagged, and
tags won't come off. The photographs on this page were made by Ellen Richmond, who also helped in keeping track of the sales. Thanks Ellen! Other workers, that evaded the camera were Leon Richmond, Tom Walker, and Jim and Mary Baker. |
