With an eye toward variety, a committee selects the individuals to use. Slaight, along with Mur Wolf, head of the technical shop, and Flick Coleman, professor of chemistry, write the bios. The project keeps Slaight busy scouring the archives for photos and additional background on the nominees. Often they've written such unusual and lovely things that we've used their comments in our biographies. That explains the September 18th entry, Del Nickerson, senior horticulturist in the greenhouses.
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Deadline for submissions is the Monday prior to publication.
