Remembering Claude E. Garton

Claude E. Garton

(February 26, 1907 to January 1, 1996)

 

Claude Garton would have been 100 years old today.  He is fondly remembered by all who knew him for his eccentricity, his vision and passion for nature and the environment, and his commitment to teaching.

 

He is lovingly remembered as "Poppa Claude" by his family:  daughter Lorraine, grandchildren Sarah and Ben, great grandson Sam, niece Barbara Edwards and her children Bethany Gilbert (and her daughter Lauren) and Gordon Boyd (and his daughter Camryn).

 

If you knew Claude, please take a moment to remember him today.

Thank you.
