	Oh, Tom - I don't know if the Morgan Award was a medal (someone
	out there knows & will probably tell us in short order)...but
	B & S won the top honors for a Siberian twice...that is the
	point...two honors, maybe one medal.:-)

	I shamelessly promote Siberian irises any chance I get...they are
	the most beautiful representatives of the iris - IMHO.;-)
