Thank you for your kind, thoughtful words! I live one hour North of Boston, and it seems pretty chaotic down there - or at least it did yesterday. I watched some footage yesterday and this morning. Thanks for thinking of us! ______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Do you want to receive my plant newsletters via email? santoury@aol.com The Silent Seed - Rare and Unusual Plants ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- -----Original Message----- From: iain <iain@auchgourishbotanicgarden.org> To: pbs <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Tue, Apr 16, 2013 9:21 am Subject: [pbs] OFF TOPIC - BOSTON Apologies for off topic post this morning but on waking at 7 a.m. our time to hear about America's awful event on such an occasion, any occasion. Folks here in the countries of the UK can only weep for you in the USA at this mindless barbarity. Tragic doesn't come close. We have ourselves have had no end of this kind of event in the not so distant past, hopefully now not ever again but we have just learnt that your FBI are liaising with our SIS and police every hour to share info and if at all possible also to prevent anything like it at our own London marathon this coming Sunday as well as the State Funeral for our former Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher before hand tomorrow - Wednesday.Having experienced so many outrages like this here in the UK before, Americans can be fully assured we are totally with you all at this terrible, terrible time. It wakens our own fears for the future and the deepest possible sympathy from across this side of the Pond.Iain_______________________________________________pbs mailing listpbs@lists.ibiblio.orghttp://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.phphttp://… http://ificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
