Just a note to let you all know that Scot, Nancee and I represented Lowell's willow collector friends at the Memorial Service held at 2PM Saturday, March 1, at the New England Club in Cincinnati, the retirement community where Lowell lived the last several years. It was a lovely service led by Lucinda and Christy Balmos who read a sermon written by her sister Lydia. The room was packed with friends Lowell made at the New England Club. There were many fond memories of him expressed by people attending the service. The Balmos family had also helped plan the services held that morning at the chapel next to his family farm in Hillsboro, Ohio. That service was attended by many family friends and people Lowell grew up with in Hillsboro.
