| In Memoriam |
We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of George Meyfarth and David Curtis, two important members of the Greenbelt community. George Meyfarth of Topsfield was a talented, enthusiastic and long-time volunteer who often gave his time to Greenbelt in tandem with his wife Nathalie. David Curtis of Gloucester was a well-known and accomplished landscape artist whose plein air painting classes were a welcome sight at Cox Reservation for decades.
