SRGC notice of death of plantsman

Wow, what a loss. I have purchased many a seed over the years from the
Archibalds and could hardly resist trying something completely different
and unusual, just because I happened to come across one of his
descriptions of something I'd never heard about while slowly stepping
through their extensive seed listing each time I got the next catalog in
the mail. And I loved reading his front page preamble of what had gone
on with both the seed collecting and in their lives since the last
catalog. He didn't seem to mind divulging personal details about their
lives, including his recent health problems. He will be missed.
