[Laurie Porter]

would loved to get to know although she is no longer among the living, her 
contributions to society and to the environment will linger on for 
centuries.

>> tropical shade and fragrance, and kitchen herbs and  tomatoes.  Oh, and 
>> her cactus named George.  She used to landscape  landfills, Superfund 
>> sites, and other contaminated areas, planting  trees to prevent pollution 
>> from seeping into the groundwater.  She  was a bright, beautiful, 
>> quick-witted, outspoken environmentalist,  with a big heart.
