the flower show won't happen this year. they have driven the hort society into the ground. I am chairing the symposium in Boston in 2010. My son had lots of fun in the shop. He is 13 now and he plays hockey,lacrosse, plays the guitar and trumpet, snowboards and is the cantor at church. We are starting our high school search (unfortunately he likes Brooks). I have been teaching at the NY Botanical gardens. I am active on the AIFD board and still the chair of the Floral Management advisory committee. Once again my new year's resolution is to learn to say no.
