Re: Mike Lowe sad news

[Kathleen Sonntag <kathwrites@gmail.com>]

This is sad, especially since he was still young.

For the summer issue of IRISES, I9d like to have an article about Mike9s
contributions to AIS in addition to his obit - I believe he helped
establish HIPS as well as the AIS website and was awarded the AIS Gold
Medal. If those of you who know about his contributions could send me a
paragraph or two, I will create an article, or someone can send me an
article NLT June 15. Anyone have a photo?
Another irisarian, Dr. Rodionenko, also should be mentioned beyond an obit
for his contribution to AIS and the world iris community. Suggestions for
an author for that one would be greatly appreciated. I found the letter
Jim Morris wrote him on the occasion of Dr. R9s 100th birthday last year.
Any photo other than the ones in the AIS encyclopedia?

While I9m carrying on about article ideas  for the summer issue, it would
be nice to continue featuring up and coming irisarians along with those
who have moved on to the next dimension. Any suggestions? I watch the blog
for ideas in this area.

Please send any photos of the award winning irises and tour gardens from
the Spring Convention to Janet and me.

Thanks in advance, Kathleen
