In memory of Devyn Olson-Sawyer
Devyn, a valued member of the GROW community, passed away in September 2019 after three years working for the Observatory.
Devyn worked hard to engage new people in GROW and her work will forever be appreciated by all partners in the GROW Observatory.
She brought wit, enthusiasm and warmth to the project and she will be deeply missed.
