RE: Re. a Region 20 death

Hi Betty
Several years ago, I nominated Carol Lankow for a Hybridizers medal -
posthumously. The boarded voted it down. Carol's introductions went on to
win medals after her death. That did not count the seedlings of hers that I
introduced later.
I think "posthumous" raises the possibility of many candidates. The board
did not want to go there.

Hi, Tom!

One of our Region 20 iris giants passed away yesterday. We are  so sorry we
have lost Tom Magee, hybridizer of 'Acoma', 'Enchanted Mesa', and  many
other super irises. I had been thinking that he should be nominated for the

hybridizers award. Tom should have been a recipient long ago. Do we ever
award
 this posthumously?

Thanks!
Betty Roberts, Region 20 RVP
