I don't recall a lot of details, but Rod had some sort of cancer that
required the removal and reconstruction of most of his jaw, and I recall
their adult son needing at least one liver (?) transplant, and may even have
died. I do know that they went out of the orchid business citing "other
interests".

The domain is still active, but seems to be the home site of commercial
links of all sorts.

Does anyone know what's become of the Venger's? I remember them fondly and
often wonder how they are.
