Yep, Geroge, one and the same. He has been retired now for an entire year. I keep trying to get him to write something - he told everyone that he was going to write a book in retirement - but so far nothing. He still does his column for Flower & Garden magazine (he is regional editor) and does a monthly stint on a local TV program. He is doing some consulting. I have two landscape plans I am having trouble getting around to doing that I wish I could get him to do FOR me! ha! I printed off your message and will give it to him. Barb -who is currently snowed in now - not sure HOW much snow we got. We shoveled yesterday - HARD work as it snowed, then sleeted and then snowed again, making it very heavy. Then started snowing again yesterday afternoon. May not even go to church this morning.
