Berne Jones

Berne was a great mentor on all things related to barley quality. He was an attentive listener, who followed up on even casual conversations. I once mentioned that my young son collected all sorts of things. Berne responded "I´ll send him a cactus collection". Sure enough, shortly thereafter a package arrived, full of carefully wrapped specimens. 30 years later, the cacti are huge! My thanks to Berne and condolences to the family.

Remember him as friendly to me as a new student at RHS. Very smart
