Re: Doreen's passing and Two Issues

Doug and all,
As a list lurker for years, rarely with time to post, I do hope the list serve will continue. It makes me feel connected to garden writers everywhere in a way I just don't get from Facebook. I am so grateful to Doreen for starting and maintaining this. I'm proud to call her a friend. I would like to be included in any kind of tribute to Doreen that we might conceive. She was truly a positive force who touched many in the garden writing community.
