John Dever memorial pine tree

The Biology Department and the Biology Club planted this ponderosa pine in 1998/99 in memory of the late Professor John Dever.  This bronze marker is on the lawn across from the McPherson Chapel; see the photo below for a larger view, which includes (seated on the left) Dr. Page Lindsey of the Biology Department who was involved in the design and construction of this memorial, along with the creation of the garden in honor of Dr. Preston Somers.  The woman in the background, Diane Mee, is part of the Physical Plant Services grounds crew; she and her husband helped landscape the Somers garden.  Now, walk across Rim Drive to see McPherson Chapel.
