Hi Rita,
I hope you will soon have the SPCNI PowerPoint Presentation that I created with editing by Debby Cole. It is about 12-14 minutes, don't know the final timing. I sent it off to her the morning we left for vacation and haven't heard if she is pleased or if more editing has to be done. When it is finished, I started it in about October two years ago but Debby has so much on her plate that she didn't work on it until I told her I wanted it done before we came to Maui! I was tired of it hanging over my head.
I did all of the species with various photos of each with description and place found, history of a few people, history of the Mitchell Medal, all the winners, then some landscape and ending with cultural instructions.
Are you the person to send it to or????
Hope all is well, we had the kids and family here for a week, was soooo much fun...we still hare having fun, with more than a week to go!
Life is good,
Aloha,
Terri

Subject: [sibrob] Need picture of F. Cleveland Morgan
Janet Smith, Chair of the AIS Slides/Digital Committee is putting together a new program on AIS Awards. She is including descriptions of all the Awards and pics and a short write up on who they were named for as well as pics of the recent winners. It is really outstanding!
There are some holes to fill however and one is a picture of F. Cleveland Morgan
MORGAN-WOOD
MEDAL (SIB)
This medal is restricted to Siberian (SIB) irises. It is named in honor of F. Cleveland Morgan and Ira E. Wood.
This award was instituted in 1951 renamed the Morgan-Wood Medal in 1961.
F. Cleveland Morgan
(1882-1962) (no photo)
F. Cleveland Morgan was a pioneer Canadian breeder of Siberian irises and a founding member of AIS.
Some of his magnificent cultivars still enhance gardens around the globe.
I do not have all the old TSI issues- is his pic in any of them? Maybe an obit in 1962? Janet checked the AIS Bulletins and did not find a picture.
Please contact Janet at aisslides@irises.org if you can find a pic of Morgn. She can scan from a printed copy.We hate to leave his picture out of this important CD. We do have a good pic of Ira Wood.
