These comments will be given to his sons on Saturday. If you would like to say something about an experience you had with him or possibly something that you heard... I would be happy to add them to the collection.... Thank you. Dewey +More Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae Go to

From: "Simon Mayo" s.mayo at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2000.01.20 at 15:58:45(4014) Dear Dewey, On Monroe Birdsey I would like to say that when I first went to Florida in 1980 for the first Aroid Meeting organized by Betty Waterbury, Mike Madison and Libby Besse, I had the opportunity to visit Monroe's famous garden and he was very kind to me. He had a great knowledge of aroids and will always be remembered for his impact on the cultivated species and for his fine work on Syngonium. Best wishes, Simon +More Simon Mayo Telephone: +44 (0)181 332 5213 Fax: +44 (0)181 332 5278

From: "patricia frank" tricia_frank at hotmail.com> on 2000.01.21 at 19:35:34(4016) I've known Monroe since the beginning of the Aroid Society in 1976. We will really miss him and the funny humor he add to all our meetings. His generosity could not be beat, I was ask many times "DO you want it or not speak up!". I have many memories of Monroe which I see everyday in my garden. I only hope he knew, we did feel he was very special and appreciated all his knowledge.
