Dear PBsers, Although I have been a member of the elist and the membership organization for a number of years, a contributor to both and donor to the BX, I have passively avoid posting a background information page to the PBS Contributors page. After assuming a position as an officer of PBS, I have been mercilessly hounded (not really) to put together a bit of background about myself, my garden and plants. The results have been posted at http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… So now that I have been shamed into participating, I see a number of prominent PBS members who are represented by back ground 'portraits' of them and their gardening interests. Check out some of the interesting people you'll meet on this elist at http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… , You'll also see who has not included their own back ground. Time to 'fess up ! Read up about the contributors to PBS and get to know them better. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
