Re: Memorial for Jeff Ball?

Nancy, really glad to see you're keepin' on keepin' on with that site. Good for you guys and the best of luck with it.  

It strikes me that GWL might have a simple session each year in Jeff's honor where an experienced (I was  going to use the term hoary senior writer but I knew the wags in the group would take it as an excuse for zingers... but I digress) writer or writers merely stand and answer questions from the audience. No preparation, no speech, just a voice of experience sharing and answering practical questions from experience.   The way Jeff used to do it in smaller groups or with individuals. 

Call it the annual Jeff Ball back of the bus session.   No warnings necessary ;-)

I think it would be a fitting tribute to make it part of gardening vernacular, especially since it describes exactly what many of us write about.I just put it into my spelling checker!
