Rima, one can get a 'real education' from a show, and I am
thrilled for you that you were thusly impressed. Also, I appreciate your
report on GUDRUN winning the show. GUDRUN is an historical iris, and I am
pleased that the judges saw fit to reward it as Best Speciman although it
is older and of a different form from what we usually see winning the
'queen.' Walter Moores, Enid Lake, MS 7/8
