Re: Is it finger blight?

When I was volunteering at the Arnold I was impressed by the courtesy of 
visitors. I was active there for 12 years and the staff up through the director is 
so glad someone else is interested in what they are growing that an extra 
effort is often made to help those people.  However, it also goes the other way 
at times,  One time 0more than 20 yrs. ago) a man called from eastern Canada to 
find out how to contact the North American Lily Society.  Since we had a book 
of such info two steps away I told him the address we had.  A few weeks later 
a nice donation arrived from him.  Three years ago I was walking with a long 
time friend in The Bussey Hill section of the "Arb" and we were having trouble 
finding the Acer griseum.  The director was nearby and politely and warmly 
pointed us in the right  direction.  Having had contact with people from similar 
institutions it seems that such conduct usually accompanies an interest in 
plants.

I wonder if VP Cheney pays any attention to the natural world beyond what is 
in his gunsights?
