SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR LORINE GIBSON<br />

WHO SHARED OUR PASSION FOR THE PLANTS <strong>OF</strong> <strong>EAST</strong> <strong>TEXAS</strong><br />

“I shall know life is simply lots of beginnings and endings with love that glues it together.”<br />

—Lorine Dieu Crenshaw Gibson, February 25, 1990<br />

Lorine Dieu Crenshaw Gibson<br />

was a conservationist at heart and was devoted to and compassionate about<br />

plants, whether in the wild in East Texas or in her beautiful garden at home<br />

in Dallas. She was one of the early supporters of the Flora of East Texas Project<br />

and we are appreciative of her support and encouragement. Upon her untimely<br />

death, her family requested that memorials be given to help underwrite the<br />

flora that Lorine had been so excited about. Subsequently, her family has gen-<br />

erously supported the flora and made a critical major gift that completed the<br />

funding necessary for publication. B<br />
