Dear Friends,
	 I've known about this local bulb program for a couple of 
years. I never met the one-man organizer who started this project, 
but I just found out he joined the PBS Family recently.

	You can read back ground about this unique bulb project here:

	Troost Ave is a long North-South street in the heart of a 
racially diverse part of the urban core of Kansas City. This effort 
has brought all kinds of people and funds together to get involved 
and beautify the city through tulips, daffodils and other long lived 
hardy bulbs.

	It sure sounds like a worthy cause and one worth duplicating 
in cities around the world. If you care to donate take a look at this 
video

	Since this is fall bulb planting season, I thought I'd share 
a local Kansas City effort.

		Think Tulips.		Jim W.
