It has been a very rough year for the aroid society and for myself. We lost a lot of great people Julius being one of my good friends and a authority on aroids. Trish Frank was always extremely friendly and organized most every aroid show I know of. Ralph was a great grower and passed away at 99 his collection was amazing and many of my plants came from him. Joe Wright was not well known in the last few years of the aroid society but has many articles in older aroideanas and was good friend to me. We shared cutting and information regularly and I visited him many times on my trips down to the shows. It seems all of these great people passed away in just a short time. They each had wonderful lives and were amazing people and all will be missed.

I have been going through my photos of these people and found a great photos in it you can see Julius and on either side is Ralph and Lynn as well as many others.
