<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I'm very sad to report that Christine Allen, formerly of Gaylord Brothers, University Products, and Hollinger Metal Edge and a long-time supporter of SPNHC and the natural history
collections community, passed away yesterday. She was a good friend to many in the Society and she'll be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with her family.
