My wife Dorris and I will always treasure the memory of a dear friend...We often used each others homes for stopovers while speaking or just to get together...She was an inspiration to me and a source of great stories...I will forever smile when I think of the Christmas card, a few years ago, when she wrote of driving completely through her garage in Calif. and gave up her car...Away to Washington she went and I now wish that we had gone up to visit her...Her book..Home Orchid Growing is a classic and can be found in nearly every library anywhere. She was one classy lady but quick to rap your knuckles if you mispronounced a word...a carry over from her teaching days. Another memory was my getting ready to take a picture of her and requesting a smile...She said..I do not have the worlds best smile..I insisted..She really did not...Remember Lucille Ball's spider smile? I could go on for hours..Bill Bergstrom _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
