Hello everyone,
Just a note to inform you that I will not be available on this email address (
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) after about 12 hours from now. I will let you know
my new one after two or three weeks when, hopefully, I will have set up a new
email account.
I have been plagued by spam, adware and
today some sad news reached me. Spring Christie called to inform me that
Prof. John Christie passed away last Friday.
His passing away is a great loss to the orchid world in general and
especially to the Malibu Orchid Society
which he served in several positions over many years.
John and his wife
