[BSW] Very sad Worthley news

[Kathy Bilton]

This morning I received word that BSW member Jean Worthley had passed away 
overnight. Jean had not been active with the BSW in recent years, but it 
was at a 1990 BSW dinner that I first met Jean and Elmer Worthley. She had 
continued to have the botany class at her house that Elmer had started in 
the '70's after he died in 1991.

It was after the most recent class that I sent out the message beliow to 
the class. You can see a number of videos with "Miss Jean" from her 1970's 
Hodge Podge Lodge days on YouTube:

Sent Thursday, April 6 to the Worthley Botany Class:

Last Saturday, Jil and Warren brought a Maryland Naturalist from 1991 to 
class in which there is a several page recollection of Elmer written by 
Dave Lee. You can see it here:
