Griff Crump kindly informed us:
<< Friends -- Lois Rose suggested that I relate to you the unhappy news of
Dr. D.C. (Charlie) Nearpass' death on Monday morning, June 30. Charlie
was the hybridizer of DOVER BEACH, LORD BALTIMORE, SPINNING WHEEL,
PURPLE PEPPER, SWEET ANITA, MY KATIE, ROMAN CARNIVAL and several other
favorite irises. More than that, as all who knew him can attest, he was
a generous person, a constructive critic, and a gentleman...... >>
Thank you Griff, and Lois, for bringing us this sad information about Dr.
Nearpass, who was also the recipient, in 1996, of the American Iris Society
Hybridizer's Medal.
