Hi all,

Jack Finney's TOC index for AIS bulletins is awesome!

It is truly a labor of love.  Thanks again Jack!  (don't know if he's on
iris-digest, I'm cc-ing him)

As HIPS archivist, and I have a small personal collection of old iris
catalogs, I know how it is -- you start sorting stuff and pretty soon you're
sitting there reading and it's 3 am!

posted on the Greater Kansas City Iris Society web site.
