While rummaging around the archives hunting for something else, I ran
across a thread about the need for hybridizers & how to encourage them.
And the idea of having accreditation for hybridizers. Considering the
wealth of information that's been exchanged thru this forum since this
was posted, I thought it was worth a bit of reminiscing & wonder what
Chris would say now, 6+ yrs later.:

What I would like to see is an educational program from the AIS (very
similar to what the judges already have) with the focus on hybridizing.
I think the long term result from a program like this will
maintain/increase the number of hybridizers and would definitly help
pass on the knowledge.
Unfortunately, there have been quite a number of well known and
knowledgable hybridizers die in the past year. Should it just be left to
chance to hope that others appear to replace them? Of course, nobody
would be obligated to participate in such instruction or courses, but
what budding hybridizer could resist the potential of such knowledge?
