It is with great regret that we report the passing of Harold Evjen, former professor at the University of Colorado and our former Executive Secretary.
I am very sorry to report the death of David H. Porter, with whom I worked very closely for almost my entire term as Executive Director. He served as Chair of our Development Committee from its revival in 2000 until this past January. In that role he led an effort that tripled the number of members who made annual giving donations and more than quadrupled the amount raised. He was also an active member of the Steering Committee for the Gateway Campaign.
