Hi all,

Some of us have just heard from Alberto that his heart surgery is scheduled
for March 9th. I know it is already March 9th in Australia and New Zealand,
but for the rest of us that will be tomorrow. Since heart surgery is always
risky he has made plans to donate his bulb collection to the university
where Germán Roitman has recently been appointed director of the school of
horticulture if he does not survive. Hopefully Germán can send us progress
reports. I know many of you will join me in keeping him in your thoughts
and prayers tomorrow.
