Thanks for sharing news of Marion Gyllenswan, Bill.

Marion was devoted to encouraging enthusiasm from others. She cultivated
love of nature and fulness of experience. Her personal warmth and natural
inclination to focus upon the needs of others made her a GREAT advocate for
bonsai.

Subject: [IBC] MARION GYLLENSWAN PASSING


I'm sad to report that bonsai artist and a leader of the American bonsai
community, Marion Gyllenswan of Nanuet, New York passed away this
afternoon.

Marion was very active in promoting the National Bonsai and Penjing
Museum at the US National Arboretum in Washington, DC. She was a past
president, president emeritus and very hard loyal worker for bonsai
museum. She was also very active and an organizer, officer and director
of both the Bonsai Society of Greater New York and the American Bonsai
Society.

Here bonsai demonstrations were wonderful as were her trees. She will
surely be missed by everyone who was fortunate to have known her.
