[OGD] Concerning the sentences of Manuel Arias Silva and George Norris
George Norris served his sentence and is no longer incarcerated. I do not know the exact date they set him free, however he was already out in March, 2006. Manuel Arias Silva has not served his sentence. He escaped from the USA before he was sentenced, with help from Peru. He is now a USA fugitive. peter ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Many others left in support. I asked Joe some time ago if he'd consider coming back, and he said only if Hideka could return, too. Speaking of MIAs, anyone know whatever happened to George Norris? Is he out of jail yet? K Barrett N Calif, USABe one of the first to try Windows Live Mail.

[OGD] Porpax (Eria) meirax
Greetings - If another soul on this list is growing this plant (or anything remotely like it), I would very much appreciate some cultivation advice, including light, water, fertilizing, heat, sun, bloom time, etc. Very little to be found by googling. Thanks.

[OGD] Judging
Judging (does anyone do it?) Ok would Andy , or anyone else currently judging, please comment on the cover of the current AQ. The pouch of this paph in my opinion should preclude any award much less a larger than life cover shot. No, I am not a judge. I have only raised orchids for forty-five years and been getting them awarded since 1974 so I do feel I certainly know as much as some of them in the community. Am posing question here because AOS judges generally will not second quess others. Why I don't know. Maybe if they would reconsider some awards we wouldn't have obvious dogs getting high awards just because they are owned by certain exhibitors. Merv Hall Check out AOL.com today.
