It is with great
sadness that I am letting you know that the American Iris Society President,
Dr. E. Roy Epperson, passed away suddenly last weekend.
It goes without
saying that Roy will be greatly missed not only by those of us who knew him
and worked with him for many years, but also by many others in the world of
iris.
Services for Dr.
Epperson are as follows:
Visitation on
Thursday, January 28 at 5:30 pm at High Point University, 833 Moutlieu Ave.,
High Point, NC.
Funeral on
Friday, January 29 at 11 am at Christ United Methodist Church, 1300 N. College
Drive, High Point, NC.
In lieu of
flowers, donations in Roy's memory may be made to the American Iris Society
General Fund.
