RE: seeking MDB Caparne-Welch Medal winner list

["E. R. Epperson" <kirklee@triad.rr.com>]

Chris,

Clarence Mahan has written a brief historical description of each of the
Special Medal awards of The American Iris Society.  Several of these have
been published in Section publications.  For the Society for Siberian
Irises, I can provide you the historical info as well as an up-to-date and
complete listing of medal winners.

Hi Chris,
 
I'm the current president of the DIS and I'm afraid I don't have even a  
partial list of Caparne-Welsh winners although I agree it is important that
one  
be put together.  I believe our vice-president may have knowledge about
where 
to come up with the best iformation on this, but before I inquire I wanted
to 
check if you still need this information.
 
All the best,
Brad Kasperek
DIS President

I am  looking for a complete list of past winners of the MDB Caparne-Welch
Medal.  This is for the "Awards" section of the AIS website. There I am
trying to  provide a comprehensive reference list of each of the medals,
their history  and past winners list. (actually it has not been very easy at
all to find  info for many of the awards which makes me realize its probably
more  important to do this than I originally thought)

There are other awards  that I am also seeking info on but I'll just go at
it
one at a time. The  awards info I am assembling appears on the AIS website
on
the following  page: www.irises.org/awards.htm
You can see the ones I am missing  there.

For the MDB irises award list I visited the DIS website but  found no award
listing there so I thought that I would contact the DIS  President for the
info or a source (but I have found 3 different names for  same and am not
sure which is current) The one I did contact did not  answer. If someone in
the society has this information perhaps they could  forward it to me via
e-mail. 

Thanks in advance.
