Thank you, Lesley, Jim, and Nhu. I appreciate the kind words. I wasn't fishing for them, I threw in the statistics because they were handy and I thought the group might be interested, but I do appreciate them. Please don't forget Karl Church, who packaged up all those seeds into the little envelopes. My name shows up on the emails, but he does at least as much work - every packet I send out, he packaged. My wife and I do that job for another exchange each fall, and I can assure you it's taking Karl a lot of time and eyestrain - and remembering not to cough or sneeze at the wrong time - to do that. And of course there is Dell. Karl and I have worked on 4 SXes now. Dell just finished offering BX number 390 (yes, 390!), and he still does intake for the SXes too. Our contributions are tiny by comparison with his. Steve On 11/10/2015 2:16 PM, Lesley Richardson wrote: > That level of volunteer work in the Society is astonishing.
