Please disregard the comments about judges in the previous Digest...One persons
comments about judges and judging can hardly be taken seriously..If he has
problems where he is..well so be it..I have traveled all over the U.S. and
judged at many shows and where I lectured..I find the remarks to be way off
base in that the vast majority of the folks judging were a good cross section
of intelligent people..who did a fine job when I was there...exceptions are
there..and I will not name the one or two..they are not the rule...I also find
that a lot of them...a large proportion in some venues, are indeed commercial
growers..Nearly all here in Hilo are...and we are ALWAYS trying to get members
to put in plants for judging...same for Maui and Oahu...So..please do not
believe those tired stereotypes I always hear about fat, old, stupid judges in
the system..it aint so..Bill
