Darling boy, thank you so much for your kind words. No, I don't think so, 
merci. I've got a stack of Iris history putters I am trying to tend to now, and I 
frankly seem to get more done by myself. I'm all broody about my Iris persica 
article, and later on I have something in mind dealing with the '39 Check 
List. Besides, I don't have the dough or the dirt to tackle that, although there 
appear to be plenty who do. 

I took an interest in the question because of my interest in Check Lists 
generally, and I tossed out the possibility of an official Society photographer or 
photographic team because it was an alternative route to the same putatively 
desirable goal, Ghordian knot-wise. Such an approach would, of course, create 
its own problems while obviating the need to find solutions for others. It 
does seem patent, however, that if the Society is going to publish photos under 
imprimature, whether real or de facto, then they will have to be vetted photos 
and you get those only from the hybridizer or an agent of the Society. In any 
case, I am not persuaded that the goal as presented is a sound one, but those 
who are should certainly follow their bliss.

Cordially,

Anner Whitehead
Richmond VA USA
