Hi Suzanne,
Indeed, we shared a table with you at York and good conversation to boot. I
enjoy the challenge of an iris identification -- particularly when it holds
promise of being non-trivial. All too often an iris is sent for
identification and it turns out to be something on the order of Wabash,
Loreley or Helen Collingwood! (For those not familiar with the previously
named historics -- they are the iris ID equivalent of shooting fish in a
barrel!) I just opened a (new) quarter-acre iris bed and I have an unfilled
row in the 'Who am I' section. Our address is-
Anne & Mike Lowe
12219 Zilles Rd.
Blackstone, VA 23824-9394
Voice - 804.265.8198 fax - same, call first email mblowe@earthlink.net
I keep seeing notes posted on my ISP web page "We are coping with the mail
problem -- the backlog should be cleared up in the next few days." Email
from AOL often comes in 2 to 5 days after the datestamp. Is this a problem
for all or is it unique to my server? When I log on for my mail I see a new
mailserver almost every week -- I think the net mail expansion is
sufficient to swamp any organization. ATT's offer of free net access pulled
in a quarter million requests in the first few days. We will all need a
ISDN link and a dedicated server if the current growth rate continues!
Best regards,
Mike Lowe, Virginia, USA
PS - put this on the IRIS-L to dispel the question 'Will he -- or won't he?' ;-)
