Sadly, I report that another member, Walter MacGinitie, has passed. I never knew Walter personally, only his important work, but word travels among members of the environmental communities concerned about the San Juan Islands of Washington. Walter lived on
San Juan Island and he and his wife, Ruth, hadgifted 13 acres of important land to the San Juan Preservation Trust, an organization that my wife and I, as boaters who enjoy the islands, contribute to. A tribute recently appeared in the SJPT newsletter:
