The Friends of the Palomar College Arboretum Annual Members Dinner was held on May 12, 2011 at the Patron’s Friendship Pavilion. Several members were honored for their outstanding contributions to the Arboretum during the past 40 years. Appreciation awards and lifetime memberships were presented to James Robert Kelly, co-founder of the Arboretum; Wayne Armstrong, Life Sciences; Richard Borevitz Irrigation Specialist, Dick Henderson, Cactus & Succulent Horticulturist, and Bill Adams, M.D. The highlight of the evening was James Robert “Bob” Kelly, whose dream of a campus arboretum 40 years ago finally became a reality.
