Re: Hop vine

We've had a variegated hop vine for years on the large trellis adjacent to
the Patio Garden at CES.  It dies to the ground every year and usually comes
back.  They make a good fast screen.  I think he may want this to screen
something else.  TheUniversity does not like us; they want us to be
invisible.  So he is constantly making concessions to them in the form of
screening in one way or another.
