Barbara, Now I'm a bit confused.
You seem to think that the two gentlemen to whom I was referring in my post are Peter Croezen and Chuck Acker. Chuck was in the subject line of the post by a Graham Marriott. It was the attack by Mr. Marriott that I was questioning. Are you saying that Mr. Marriott is your friend? My impression from your post is that Chuck Acker is your friend. No one is questioning the integrity of Mr. Acker. His reputation is impeccable, and his plants are top-notch. My questions were simply directed to Mr. Marriott to back up his claims about Mr. Croezen. The subject line of your post is confusing to me, also. Peter Croezen was not referring to Chuck Acker in his post. From other posts by Mr. Croezen (SlipperTalk, I think), I've observed that he has respect for Chuck. So I'm not quite sure why you are bringing Mr. Acker into this discussion. Chuck certainly did the right thing by his customers, and as far as I can tell from what others have said, so has Glen Decker and his sources/partners. From what I have gleaned from all the posts I've been reading about kovachii, the concern is not so much with the distributors, but with the origins. Maybe we'll never know the whole truth. I'd just like people to go beyond name-calling and discuss facts. Dot __________________________________________ Dot, I HAVE met one of these men and have been a close friend of his for over a decade. I had a lengthy email conversation with the other man that yielded lots of stories full of innuendo, and with clearly stated rumors. When I mentioned this conversation with him a few months later, he had no recollection of it and said he had no idea who I was. _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
