Bernie Boston-Memorial service info
The following comes from Peggy Boston:To the friends of Bernie Boston, who died at his home in Basye, VA on
January 22 from complications of a rare blood disorder, Amyloidosis,
diagnosed in 2006:
Please forgive the informality of this note, but I wanted to get this
message out as soon as possible for those who are interested in or able to
attend a gathering of friends to remember Bernie. I have had the chance to
talk to many of you personally, and look forward to reaching many more in
the days ahead. In the meantime, here are the plans (casual, please). We
have two dates at two locations in order to make it convenient for our
far-flung friends to drop by one or the other. They are:
—Saturday, February 23 from 1 to 4 pm at the studio of Dennis Brack, 318
Third Street, NE, Rear; Washington, DC. There will be a brief ceremony at
2:30 pm.
—Sunday, February 24 from 1 to 4 pm at the Fort Valley Nursery, 1175 S.
Hisey Avenue, Woodstock, VA with a brief ceremony at 2:30 pm.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Bernie Boston Photo Archives Fund
written to Rochester Institute of Technology (BBPAF in memo) and mailed to
Heather Engel, Rochester Institute of Technology, Office of Development, 1
Lomb Memorial Drive, Rochester, NY 14623-9932.
Please forward this information to anyone you feel would be interested. I am
sure there may be many people I have missed.
If you have any questions or would just like to be in touch, e-mail to
peggyb@shentel.net
With great affection and appreciation of your friendship with Bernie,
Peggy
