Way off topic but in a fun sense.

A picture of some of us last June at Doug Ruff's house.

Thanks for posting, Jeff. It's nice to place a name with a face.

This is a shot from Hideko Gowen's garden. Doug Ruff in the front checking out the hostas. Rod on the path coming toward him. Hideko is behind Rod (keeping an eye on him) and Jeff White and Marie are off to the left.

I will find a photo, but I'll give you a hint: a combination of Jim and Rod.

A couple of really excellent hybridizers to be a combination of Dennis.

Jeff, this is off topic, but...

Hideko Gowen has been mentioned a number of times in prior postings. For us newbies, could you tell us a little about her.

Sorry Mr White, I could not resist putting this one on there.

Doug, if you see this, what is the name of the place again? Best Ribs I have ever had.

Thats fine wzbt. Very Happy

Hideko was a little stunned when you asked her for hybridizing secrets huh? Razz

Good times! Cool

My actual words to her were "How about we all throw on some speedos"

Fun photos!

Nice to put a name with a face.

Great photo of JW with the pig Smile

He looks so comfy and relaxed.

Jeff 1.0..... the look on her face..............Did you ask her if she liked hostas?

Doug do you know what the hosta is in front of you...it has a light edge and ruffles?

Could that be a streaker the guys are dividing?
