Default Cool article about Bob Fuchs

When I was active in running a professional association of local growers in
my neck of the woods, one of the things I always emphasized to potential new
members was that a certain degree of "eccentricity" is necessary to be in
this business, and it appears to be a progressive disease (some of our
members had been growing for 30+ years ...)

Quite likely. OTOH, I've met some folks who don't even own an orchid, about
whom I'd say the same... Kenni
