Condolences go out to former Board member, longtime supporter, and true friend of Mono Lake Genny Smith whose husband Ward passed away in June. Many other members have chosen to honor his memory with donations. Among them are Marty and Bart Spencer of Cupertino, and co-founder David Gaines' parents Mort and Edith of Los Angeles.

Roger and Nancy Cannon of Carmel sent a gift in memory of Jim Alexander. Carol Sutorius of Dana Point remembered Jane Lutz with a donation.

Scott Spoolman of Madison, Wisconsin, eulogized part time local resident Ione J. Harmon as "an avid supporter of Mono Lake." His gift honors her memory.
