Marc, I'm so sorry for your losses. The palms and cycads aren't easily
replaced. I'm glad your house was saved though (and evidently your
computer). I bought some watchmaker cases so I can organize my chile seeds
immediately after Christmas. I had planned on working with your seedlist
at hand (hey, why didn't you sort that alphabetically?) and make a packet
of anything I have that you don't to send to you. Everything will get
better. Margaret L
