Remember our Members

“Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.” – Helen Keller (1880–1968) U.S. Educator, author, deaf and blind activist.
“When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) U.S. Poet.
“Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.” – George Eliot (1819-1880) British writer.

We have been privileged to see and enjoy life through photography. Let our members be remembered through their images and your tributes, which we share with you on these pages.
