In honor of Beatrice Trum Hunter, who died in May at age 98, a $1,000 donation was made to the N.H. Forest Society at the annual meeting of the Learning Institute of New England College.

An author of 38 books on natural foods and nutrition as well as a fervent environmentalist, Trum Hunter was a founder of LINEC, now in its 29th year of offering classes for seniors on the campus of New England College in Henniker. Trum Hunter, of Deering, taught a class for LINEC on foods, healthy eating and nutrition each year since its beginning, inspiring many by the breadth and depth of her knowledge and creative teaching.
