Glad to see Bob wrote this especially after I had privately written to Char that it would
have been registered as SPEC-X today. I went back and looked at the SIGNA checklist
and found Bob's explanations about both the SPEC and SPEC-X (after I had written
to Char :-).

If not 'Roy Davidson', surely the later 'Holden's Child' which I have voted for and consider
it to be an outstanding iris.

I guess I will break the news to my Region since we have an annual Apogon Auction here
in Region One.  But being New Englanders, we will probably keep it just the way it is. :-)
