That's okay, I didn't expect bios in them, but at least I'll find out 
where they're from, as in the older ones. Where I've been finding bios 
(In Memoriams) is in old Bulletins; one friend lent me hers, and another 
friend offered his as soon as I'm done w/friend #1's. It's exciting to 
finally learn about these people I've been admiring! Too bad they had to 
die first! (BTW, this has nothing to do with the many hybridizers still 
alive that I admire greatly!)
