Dear friends of ADSW:

The world has lost a wonderful person in Frances Scott, and I want to 
write a few words about this lovely lady.  Frances was a devoted 
member of the Art Deco Society all through the hard early years as we 
built up the organization.  She was one of the best and most 
universally beloved members of our board.  But most of all -- she 
saved the organization in a time of dire emergency.  She filled a 
sudden leadership vacuum with soft-spoken gallantry.  She went on to 
serve as a superb ADSW president.  Her quiet, friendly ways were 
supremely effective in the motivation of volunteers.  People gave 
their utmost for Frances because they simply loved her.  And when she 
had to pass the torch to another, she recruited a superb successor. 
What more can any organization ask of its leader?

Our lives have been made much poorer by the loss of Frances.  But the 
world was a much better place for the fact that Frances Scott walked 
among us for a while.

Sincerely,

Richard Striner
Founding President
Art Deco Society of Washington
