Re: Iris Show

Hooray for Frosty Elegance. I saw in the last edition of the Medianite that
I'm not alone. It is an outstanding IB from a great Oklahoman, the late
Cleo Palmer. In my opinion, his finest work. Alas, too late for an HM
(unless some of us judges wish to gang up and do a write-in -- now not that
I wouldn't do any campaigning -- but seriously, if there is enough "support"
out there, please respond to me privately and let's see how many potential
votes may be out there).
Congrats, Rusty!
