I regret to inform friends of the NCSU Arboretum of the death of Dr. J. C. Raulston, Founding Director of the Arboretum, in an automobile accident on December 21, 1996 at 11:30 p.m. in Ramseur, North Carolina. A memorial service will be held Sunday, January 19, 1997, 2 p.m. at the McKimmon Center on the NCSU Campus.
