I just got off the phone with Andy Phillips. He mentioned Dr. Christenson's passing. I was floored. Just wanted to share with those who were unaware.

Wonderfully written biography and such a tragedy...only 57 years old.
Some of the most amazing blooms last but too short a time.

Sorry Tindomul,
I did a cursory search of the forums, but apparently I missed yours. He will be missed.
