Newsletter

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.08.31 at 03:28:34(2562) Attention *everyone*!!! We would like to have someone write a chatty sort of colum for the Newsletter. Most of the material would be on aroid-l and I would supply more information as it became available to me. Others would, I am sure, send information to be included in this type of column... Something about the coming and goings of people, growing of unusual plants, who bloomed what and how.... This would be something of a 'gossip column' with only good things said. This is not a request for an accomplished writer. Anyone that can put two words together is certainly qualified. This would only be four times a year. Anyone interested, please send me or Dr. Thompson a private e-mail... Certainly would be appreciated. Several of you have asked how you could get involved with the IAS.... This is one way!!

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.12.22 at 02:58:29(2858) The mail man was good to me today. He brought the IAS Newsletter. Each time I get the Newsletter, I think it is the best one yet. This one is no different. +More I would like to commend Dr. Thompson for pulling it all together. She has done a great job since taking over the Editorship. Also, I would like to thank Dr. Croat for his very interesting article on his trip to Peru and to Ecuador. This narative sort of filled in the gaps in some of the stories that I hear when all the participants returned. Dr. Croat has a great sense of humor that is sometimes not shown in many of his articles. I would like for some of the participants to sort of fill in the gaps. There was something that I heard about a mustache and a plant clipper.... See? Also to Don Burns for filing his article about the Show. Don did this on just a one day notice. To Dr. McDonald, Jr... What an interesting article on the Bears! Who would have thought that with all the things that are in the aroids that they were being used for food on a regular basis... Very good. (With the low fat content, I seem to think that I should go grazing with the bears!!) And last but certainly not least... Toby Marsden. Toby was the only one that responded to my request a few months back when I asked for someone to do a column for the Newsletter. Toby, one of our younger members, is just finishing High School but writes with the command of someone much older. He has promised that this will be a regular column and I trust that his school work will allow it to be so. Some of the projects that we have discussed would be a "Walking Tour of Kew" and some other of the great gardens that are in the United Kingdon... and possibly with photos. Toby, great job and congratulations, we appreciate your efforts. Needless to say, when I started reading the Newsletter, I did not put it down till every bit of it was read. Looking forward to bigger and better. Dewey Fisk, President, International Aroid Society Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey) on 2000.03.05 at 03:59:19(4154) Over the past few years I have heard moaning and groaning because the Newsletter was not this or was not that. It needed more of this type of article or something else... It did not come out on time.... and other groanings. +More One very simple questioon..... Who do you think writes all the articles that you read? ******** I'll tell you! ******* Other people just like you. They have two arms and two legs (for the most part - and if you are handicapped - we will publish your article anyway). Everybody has a brain and everybody has some knowledge of Araceae.. Doesn't matter how much.... Remember there are a lots of folks out there that have no more experience than you have... So, if you write something that is from a beginners point of view.... You will have lots of company.... AND, there is a possibility..... since we have lots of knowledgable folks..... That you might get a lot of answers to questions that you might pose... We now have a great Editor but he is going to get just like all the rest we have had (including me). If we do not get an article it can't be published.... Suggestion.... Take a pad and a pen and go out to your Aroid collection.... Write down what you see... If you have some kind of a problem... write it down... There are those of us who will try to help... All we need is somebody to write something that can be published... AND THAT SOMEBODY IS ******YOU****** Send all articles to: Neil Carroll Editor IAS Newsletter zzamia@hargray.com This is your Society but if YOU do not help..... It will go nowhere! Dewey Dewey E.

From: Alwyn Wootten <alwootten at gmail.com> on 2010.03.12 at 00:16:12(20749) Congratulations on the great newsletter! I was blown away by the photo on the first page of Alocasia macrorrhizos "Lutea". What a beauty! I hope my plants at home in Charlottesville are surviving my son's care...it sure has been an exciting last ten days here. I don't know of any interesting aroid collections in Chile, which I understand is devoid of native aroids though there are lots in gardens here.
