When Gordon Bennett, the Father of ISCLT, died in 1994, we thought ISCLT would die with him. But we did not know what Belma Baskett was capable of. She rescued our International Society from oblivion and became the Mother of ISCLT. Gordon had maintained ISCLT for almost twenty years; Belma has now maintained it for over twenty years, and she is passing it on to a third Founding Member, Marina Catalano-Mc Vey. Thus ISCLT is reborn for the second time, and long may it flourish! Thanks, Belma, and good luck, Marina, from a longtime member who cherishes all the memories.
