Re: Aroideana 33

Thank you to everyone for being pleased with Aroideana this time. I can’t let the occasion pass without beginning my usual cry for help with articles for the next issue. Tom is wrong in giving a deadline of January 15 for it – that has to be my “absolute”, and before the New Year is much better since no one wants to write last minute things over the holidays.

 

I will certainly help with writing, and would much prefer it if articles “in the rough” came directly to me, rather than through either Steve or Tom, much as I value their support. I will have to work on them eventually, so see no point in taking up their time with this. They could be writing their own articles instead !

 

If we are to have a strong “gardening” section, I would be happiest if it were several people’s experience on a single topic, or a coordinated ‘where to go and what to see’ for a particular region. Any interest there?  Room for volunteers to organise that if anyone is interested.

 

Again thank you for all the compliments on the issue – you are all certainly welcome to whatever I can put into it while I am still ambulatory (that is a minimum of walking from my keyboard to the bathroom and back at need).

 

Regards, Derek
