Notes:
Lewis and Adele were married 13 Aug 1937 in Yuba City, California.
Loretta, their oldest daughter was born in September 1938.
Their other two children didn't arrive until the early 1950s.
Their long time family home was in Oakland, California. The photograph
to the right includes their two younger children in the early 1960's.
Lewis and Adele both worked at the Del Monte Corporation as plant pathologists.
After their retirement, they devoted their time to raising a variety of Iris in their
large backyard with a view of the San Francisco Bay. They were both active
in the American Iris Society, the Sidney B. Mitchell
Iris Society, the Mt. Diablo Iris Society, the UC Botanical Garden, and the
California Horticultural Society. Adele was the Scientific Editor of the
national AIS Bulletin. They were also editors, and officers in some
of the other societies. In 1991 they were interviewed for an oral history
project, resulting in a printed transcript entitled Lawyers, Inc. :
partners in plant pathology, horticulture, and marriage.
Lewis and Adele celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 1997. At that time
Lewis took the time in their Christmas letter to introduce the progeny resulting
from their marriage, included in the photograph to the left.
Lewis died April 18, 2001. When the yard work became to much for Adele,
she moved to Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, California. She passed away August 27,
2007. |
