Re: SIGNA member passing

---

I am so sorry to hear that Kees Sahin passed away. I did not know him personally but he contacted me some years ago about a peony I had just registered. He said he was growing 700 peonies and that he saw my name listed in the Hosta membership roster. He absolutely wanted this peony, but I had given most of it to the Horticultural College in Wädenswil ZH for growing in their nursery. I promised him to send him a piece as soon as my plant would be large enough. He wrote to me several times about plants, He was also growing Iris ensata. He never mentioned he was a SIGNA member. I wrote to him twice when the plant was ready but did not get any response, a third letter came back. That must have been around 2005.
