In Memoriam: Jack Elliott

Dear All,

I too feel very sad hearing Jack has died even though after the stroke we
couldn't really communicate with him any more. I worked with him on the IBS
Publication BULBS which I felt was a real privilege. And when I had my
first stint doing the Topic of the Week on the old IBS list I could always
count on Jack to help me out with an introduction. His posts were so full
of information. But beyond that his love of flowers and never ending quest
to understand his plants better was always apparent. He was generous with
time, seed, information, encouragement. The world was made richer by his
presence. Lucky for all of us he left behind the books and articles he
wrote and all those seeds and plants he shared with so many of us.
