In honor of our Past President Gaye Pesout, the Great Basin Chapter has established a Memorial Fund to benefit the paleontology prep labs at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City and the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden where Gaye was a long time volunteer. The funds are to be made available to the two labs in equal amounts when needed. This account will be on-going. Anyone wishing to donate to this fund at any time may mail a check or m/o to:
