Heather and Bernard Pryor have authorized me to forward this exchange to
the list. Heather wanted to emphasize that she was just in shock, not
bitter or angry about Campbell's abrupt decision. With Dennis, I hope that
the Pryors will be able to find another North American outlet for their
wonderful irises.
Meantime, many other questions about this matter go unanswered......
