Well, I just received the latest "Orchids", and I must admit that it is encouraging. Aside from the fact that a greater than usual number of articles interest me in this issue (not all read yet), such as the article about Chinese Cyp's, Dracula hirtzii, Phalaenopsis media and fertilizer, perhaps the most important was Carlos Fighetti's letter frankly addressing the AOS's problems and shortcomings. Clearly the most realistic article by an AOS leader that I have seen, and humble.....it definitely affected my attitude towards the AOS more than anything I have read before. Of course, my biggest objection is the dues increase.....but fortunately, that was acknowledged as a problem as well. Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in genuinely frigid Queens NY....paphs bellatulum, argus, concolor, and hirsutissimum in bud.......miscellaneous catt's in bloom.................................
