I have known Tennis for some time.....Sorry....I cannot believe anyone could
come up with such stuff to degrade the AOS...I cannot condone it...What is he
talking about? The AOS has done marvels for the American
Orchidist..period..the thought that they should go away to suit him or his ilk
is odious..Sorry Tennis..thought better of you...where are we going with this?
It is OUR publication..WE make it work..As I have said before..make your views
known and ELECT the appropriate people..you do not vote and you end up with an
endless war..like Iraq..Same thing...No one should complain if they did not do
their share to make things better..FURTHER..there is always tomorrow..I sent in
my response..and guess why that missive came to my mailbox..cuz you folks
complained..and THEY want to make you happy..if you are not..they suffer..that
is the way the world works folks..does anyone disagree??? I have lots of mail
agreeing with me..and why not...A NEW MAGAZINE...get serious..what a dumb
thought..dumb dumb dumb...and after all this..all these messages I have
sent...I sure as the devil (language cleaned up) I am not the person to be
putting myself in the limelight..witness all the years I have sat back on this
magazine and said nothing about other things...(Bulbophyllums and Stanhopeas
will get a response every time) and so will the AOS...and JUDGING..watch out
all you who dump on THAT system..As a judge who waited until I was perfectly
satisfied that I could do something worthwhile for that program..I take GREAT
exception to those who poo poo a great part of the orchid world..who the devil
do you think you are??????? Enough for someone who would prefer to see better
things on this organ..William Hubert Bergstrom...(shows my attitude..doesnt it?)
