HI Andrew,
Perhaps we're at a point where we need to continue this privately, but I
will respond to this last letter.

Yes, I recall reading about your recent move and all your troubles along the
way. I'm saying your mix up is understandable.

Now this is interesting. I've sent you about a half a dozen photos; the two
you've displayed on your webpage, along with some leuco photos from Alabama.
But the 2 photos in question went to you, Dean Cook, Carl Mazur, Tom Hanley
and Charles Brewer( sorry to bring your names into this discussion). Tom
Hanley has even made me a mouse pad of the flava photo and, like I've
mentioned, Dean Cook has had these photos on his webpage for years. Andrew,
there is no mistaking these two photos as something you've photographed.
Take a look at Dean's webpage and compare for yourself.

Well, if you've taken the photos, why do you need someone to tell you you've
been there?? Besides, the location of these plants in question isn't well
known. Perhaps this is why, as the photo shows, the plants are so plentiful.

If you want to call these photos your's, you should remove them. Andrew, I
know your an educated man. Having published material in college, you know
the formalities involved. That is all I'm asking.
Sorry to all for continuing this on the list. We'll move it to a private
forum.
