Default Speaking of speakers...Who are your favorites?

I didn't know Linda did speaking jobs.
Assuming this is the Linda Wilhelm of Linda & Rolf Wilhelm who own Woodland
Orchids, I'd love to know if anybody on here would recomend her as a
speaker, since we go down to their place frequently. (Woodland is about 45
mins from us) I mostly know Rolf, but if she does speaking, this might
explain why she's out of town a lot.
Let me know if any of you have more info on this, so I know whether to talk
to our OS prez about having her speak.

Hi all,

Of all the speakers that your orchid society has sponsored, who are
some U.S. speakers that you'd especially recommend?


I've enjoyed (in no particular order)

Bill Thoms
Dennis Olivas (I don't think he travels)
Yin-Tung Wang (I'm not sure he travels much, either)
Alan Koch
Helen Congelton
Eric Christensen
Bob Gordon (some say he's a blow hard, but I like him)

There's probably a big east coast vs west coast divide. For example I've
never heard Linda Wilhelm or HP Norton, or Ray Barkalow for that matter
