I can't help responding to this. At this time I am the acting, interim, 
temporary, fairly incompetent editor of the Quarterly Bulletin of the 
North American Lily Society. 
For some time I have been concerned about the dearth of youth 
members in the NALS. Accordingly, with more nerve than good 
manners, I decided to ask Jean Morris if she would tell us how to 
do it correctly. She replied promptly and told me that she was very 
busy but how many pages did I want and when.
Soon I had a wonderful paper filled with details and inspirational 
advice with not a comma out of place (so far as this imposter can 
tell).
I just want to tell you that the AIS has a National Treasure in Jean. 
Now if we could just clone her.
