researching Jim Symon

From: "Sean A. O'Hara" <sean at support.net> on 2004.06.24 at 19:59:54(11682) Hi Folks - Some of you may remember me from some years ago and I've been in and out of this community since then. I've been researching Jim Symon who is mentioned in a book I am writing. I had the pleasure of meeting him before his trip to Sumatra and David Attenborough and also put him in better contact with many members of this community. I also received some of the A. titanum seed he distributed (which was a total surprise to me!)! I was trying to find 2 back issue of Aroideana - no. 17 & 19, which feature an article authored by Jim and information about his untimely dead. I am having trouble finding web pages with information about how to obtain Aroideana back issues - do such pages exist? Can anyone provide me with this information? Or can I obtain photocopies from someone's personal collection? Or? +More I would also be interested in other sources of biographical and/or anecdotal information about this interesting man. Sources of information will be appropriately acknowledged. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. Seán O. h o r t u l u s a p t u s - 'a garden suited to its purpose' Seán A.

You're more than welcome to borrow any back issues you wish. -Ún +More "Sean A.
