Jarred, you have created a site that not only serves as a communication medium for all of us banana (and other tropicals) nuts, but also a place of friendship and camaraderie, Who would guess a few years ago that I would consider a 50 year old Malaysian who collected reptiles and tropical plants from the jungles of his country one of my closest friends, and would mourn his untimely passing with an intensity that surprised me. The plant sharing that takes place here reinforces my belief that gardeners are some of the best people in the world. And you have done this great service for us. I can't begin to name the other many friendships this site has started and nurtured. To Jarred- thank you for all this. To the other members- thanks for all the wonderful input. And to Tog- enjoy your cigars up there, buddy.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
John F. Kennedy, September, 1960
