Really sorry to hear about Jenny, Andrew. She will be missed.

Hi Andrew
I didn't get Helene's e-mail but I was told last night at OSSV that
Eddie
and Ferndale had escaped. Hadn't heard about Helen and Barry. Pleased to
hear they only had relatively minor damage. I trust everyone else out
that
way is OK.

Other than Helene's son, who's house in Kinglake had a bit of fire
damage but otherwise survived, those ANOS members who Helene has
contacted seem to be OK. To be honest those with serious property
damage may have greater priorities at the moment than checking in with
their orchid society.

I mainly knew Jenny through ANOS Victoria's tuber bank- a programme
that serves as a legal source of otherwise difficult to obtain
Australian terrestrial orchid tubers. Jenny was a regular contributor
to our tuber bank with several of the orchid species she donated
coming from cultivated plants that were originally collected from her
Steels Creek property. Very sad news.
