Michael Vassar

Dear All,

I just got an email from my friend Andrew Wilson telling me that Michael
Vassar died yesterday. I heard Michael talk about South African Pelargonium
and Oxalis twice and each time I was impressed with his enthusiasm and love
of these two groups. I learned so much from what he said. Thanks to his
sharing many of the Oxalis he collected a number of us have been lucky
enough to add them to our bulb collections. He provided a very wonderful
introduction to Pelargonium for me when I was in charge of the Topic of the
Week on the old IBS List.

He will be missed.
