OT: Gladys Ensminger


From: GWhite & LRader <bentfork@navix.net>


Greetings talkers,

As Mike Lowe posted to the list yesterday, we are all very saddened to
hear about Gladys Ensminger's death Jan 20, 2000.  Gladys was one of the

founding members of the Lincoln Iris Society and will be greatly
missed.  Allan and Gladys Ensminger have been members of AIS for 44
years and attended many of the national conventions during that time,
and have been very active in Region 21 of AIS.  Allan and Gladys were
also charter members of TBIS.   Allan, of course, is a
hybridizer of national and international acclaim, having introduced such

irises as 'Batik', 'Sonja's Selah', 'AzAp', and many others.  2 irises
he
named in honor of Gladys, one was 'Almost Gladys' and then in 1998, the
beautiful 'Gladys My Love' (see page 59 of the April 1998 AIS Bulletin
for
a picture).

    If anyone would like to send a card to Allan Ensminger, his address
is:
                            Allan Ensminger
                            5700 Fremont St.  Apt  212
                            Lincoln, NE  68507

Gary White,
Lincoln, NE      President of the Lincoln Iris Society
