Ruth Wilder was friend of many years she was Pres. of The Spuria Iris Society, sec.of the Siberian Iris Society, and various local Bulb and Daylily clubs. Yes she was founder of the Dixie Iris Study Club, but they all grew bulbs and had many programs on them. She drove all over to give talks and Iris judges training. I think who ever sent the e-mail was trying to make sure all her friends knew that she died. Pat Ladson SC
