Hi, Mary Sue! Have you made arrangements for him to meet Paul Licht, the director of the Garden? I know Paul would love to meet Mr. McMaster and introduce him to some of our key staff. I'd also like to come up and meet him. My volunteer days are Tuesday and Thursday, but I have no problem making an extra trip.

He often goes to Canada to visit a daughter and I've been hoping he'd consider a rather large detour to California and at last he has agreed. He will be arriving in San Francisco Friday June 20th and we'll pick him up and bring him to Gualala. He is scheduled to give a talk for our local Native Plant Society Sunday June 22nd. We'll be driving him to Berkeley on Wednesday June 25 for a visit to the UC Botanical Garden. He is leaving the following morning for Salt Lake City. I'm not sure what he'll be talking about yet since there are so many talks he is prepared to give, but CNPS meetings are open to anyone who is interested. Gualala is probably not very convenient to anyone unless you live here, but on the other hand it is very beautiful place to visit. If any of you are interested in coming to meet Cameron please write me privately and maybe we can work out a day and a place we can all meet. I know he would like to meet many of you. When Bill Dijk visited a number of people came to meet him and we had a really nice time visiting. If coming to Gualala doesn't work for you, we might be able to figure out a way to meet in Berkeley at the Garden the day before he leaves, but I will need to coordinate that with Paul Licht, the director, who is going to be hosting Cameron Wednesday night.
