Diane H. Lucas
(January 12, 1931-July 16, 2022

In the 2020 OBELISK (p. 2-3), I wrote a tribute to Diane H. Lucas of Wellington, Ohio. OMLA lost its founding member, friend and mentor. A verse that her family selected about her is as follows: “Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain”. Diane is that next bryophyte or lichen we see.
