Yes, Tom Bell, *G*

Darn it, Kath (or something more emphatic). I've been looking forward to
meeting you at some show, but I'll be in Mendocino with the whole family
next
weekend to celebrate our 50th anniversary and sundry other family
milestones.
Hope your show is a huge success, and that you'll have some photos on the
OS
website.

Well, at least now you know what I look like. *G* Have a great time in
Mendocino! Its been years since the last time I was able to get away there.
We used to love to stay at Heritage House. Then it changed hands and I guess
I got busy at work (dang it)(or maybe not...) and haven't been back for
jeez, about a decade.

I just drove up to California Orchids and got a *huge* Angraecum longicalcar
from Mary Nesbitt to raffle off and then went to Raymond Burr winery to get
a couple of bottles of wine (both medal winners) to raffle off as door
prizes. (or somesuch. I let someone else handle that aspect of the show).
Dang! California is really great once you get off the freeway, *G*!
Wonderful weather! Rumor has it that the weather will change by Wed, but in
Mendocino it only makes the place more beautiful. Not many coasts you can
say that about. (I can hear the east coasters squawking now!)
