RE: Re: HYB: finding pedigrees

 . . . And getting paper moved into digital is no mean feat.  The
project was started by Howard Hughes years ago and has accelerated since
John took it over.  John has made significant progress. . . .

Quoting from Iris Borer at the Stately Guest Manor in the Buffalo Burbs
as found in the Mallorn Archives on Wednesday 12 May 1999:

 . . ."BUT, as far as a functioning, searchable program....he's THERE!
And I must stress again, boyz and girlz, that Howard Hughes did this
under his on steam, on his own initiative and on his own time.  He
personally and without assistance of any kind entered 47,000 iris names
into a data base with hybridizer, type and registration year.  Every
time I think about it, I go numb."

    There are several discussions about Mr. Hughes' project but precious
little from the man himself.  I am confused about his work and what is
going on now.  Anyone have a clarification?  Did all of his work become
a "Spruce Goose?"
