Founding member recently passed away

One of our founding members recently passed away and was remembered with a moment of silence at the June banquet.  Sally Wirth was part of the original 13 who got together in the spring of 1988 to form what we know as Amoskeag Quilters Guild.  She was an active member of the guild until she moved to Tucson, AZ in 2003 to be close to her parents, sisters, nieces and nephews.  Her son Derek still lives with his children in the Manchester area.  Many members knew Sally—she visited NH quite often and did attend several of our recent quilt shows.  She will be missed.
