My heartfelt congratulations to you, Connie! You are definitely on my "short list" of members whom I have come to depend on for both help and just plain old support and recognition. Sometimes, even when the communication is in writing, you get a very distinct feeling that someone is very familiar to you - I have felt that about you from the beginning, and having read your interview, I think I know why. You are an inspiration in countless ways and deserve this recognition, and more, for your contributions to the Forum and for just being you. Please continue to keep us all posted on what you and your orchids are up to!
