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.

<div>A fuller appreciation of Christine's life will appear in the next SPNHC Newsletter.</div>
