Bruce Christensen, a former Director on the Board of The Rosemary Pencil Foundation for over 15 years, passed away in November 2022. He was one of our first board members and believed strongly in our mission. He will be remembered for his wise counsel and thoughtful advice but he will be missed also for his enduring friendship and kindness. Bruce had a stellar career that included being President of PBS during some challenging times, and later President of the NBC TV/Radio station in Utah and a Dean at Brigham Young University. Sometimes people come along and while their lives may be cut short, you are just so grateful to have known them. Gillian Rose
