Colin Hamilton, former editor of Orchids Australia and their web master passed away Jan 14th in Rockhampton, Australia. Although he'd had other health problems for the past few years that kept him in and out of hospitals, I understand kidney failure is what finally got him. I knew Colin from OrchidSafari, where we'd chat about orchid culture. He always had a positive attitude and an open, happy personality. I believe his lighthearted posts here on the ODG reflected that, too. Even the OA magazine reflected a friendly chatty tone when he was editor. Or maybe that's how all you Australians write, *G*, no pretentions or bull. Anyway, I thought some of you may be interested to learn of it. Sorry it had to be sad news.
