Dear Betty, I am deeply sorrow after learning about Victor death. He had a very productive life. I will remember him for the rest of my life.

Betty, We are both sad to hear about Victor. I can still see images in my mind of Victors gorgeuos and huge hibiscus flowers he bred. I hope the Blanco Observatory in South America (Chile?)will have a tribute to Victor and his perseverance to get it built. I still have the wine stopper he made for me out of the Jacobean wood I gave him. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I want to help.
