Sheldon, Fuchs did not exactly "...clean up at Dijon with his
Vandas." At the end of the regular round of judging, three Vanda
awards were given, including a gold to Martin Motes, Fuchs' South Florida rival,
for best Vanda in Show [V. Blue Grig x V. Arjuna], a bronze to Motes for V.
Motes Toledo Blue x V. Arjuna, and a silver, to Fuchs, for a Motes cross [Motes
Gold Piece "24 Carot"]. After the regular judging round was completed, an
unusual "Rectification Committee" was appointed, with questionable Vanda
expertise, to reconsider the awards of the regular team and they awarded two
more silvers to Fuchs for plants passed up entirely by the regular judging
team, as well as two more bronzes for Motes. We can only speculate
about the events leading to the formation of the "Rectification
Committee." At any rate that is hardly what I would regard as "cleaning
up" for Fuchs.
