WOW! Blessings to you both.

Fortunatly and unfortunately, I leave for Maryland on
7-1 and can only do one trip east per year. I will be
staying with Nina. We will be looking to get into
bonsai trouble on Friday. Saturday and Sunday I will
be involved in attending a wedding, but Monday is a
day I could have free to meet others. I fly out late
on Tuesday from Dulles. I am shipping the hostess
plant to Nina instead of carrying it on the plane.

Anita Hawkins and I are pleased to announce that we
are engaged to be
married at my church here in Blooming Grove, New
York on October 16,
2004 at 11 AM. This obviously is thrilling to both
of us and our
families, and perhaps may be a surprise to denizens
of the IBC. We'd be
delighted if anyone living within range, or planning
to come out this
way to see the autumn colors in the Hudson Valley
would be able to join
us for the celebration. We're fortunate that the
church holds over 400
people although it is impossible to say how many
will come. We will post
an invitation on the list and gallery - some of you
with whom we are
closer will get paper invitations as well.

This has all happened because of the IBC and we will
be forever grateful
for that. This all started when Anita won the
auction for the collected
honeysuckle I auctioned off last spring. She was
coming through the
area and stopped to pick it up instead of having me
ship it.

(more details to come from Anita later today,
including something
special for bonsai and suiseki enthusiasts!)
