Thelma Beers, who passed away at 9:30 am Monday,the 15th, was a long time member of the Women's Photo Club. She was a well known member who fought for the right of women photographers to compete: "We at WCPC were so fortunate to have her as a life long member not to mention we would not even exist if Thelma hadn't forged the way for woman photographers to compete in the then exclusive male arena."
It is good to remember that there was a time when only men photographers were taken seriously and women were not welcome to compete in camera clubs. We honor and remember those who made serious photography an option for women.
A toast to Thelma, and all those who forged the way for the rest of us, thank you.
