Botanist Mike Madison, and now Botanist Tom Gibson

From: Walter Greenwood <waltergreenwood at gmail.com> on 2010.02.22 at 15:22:15(20636) So... He left botany for financial reasons and went into farming? That sounds like just the sort of insane thing I might do! ;-) Speaking of long-lost botanists and "Madison", does anyone here know Tom Gibson? When I knew him in the 80's, he was at U. of Wisconsin, Madison. He was into Amorphophallus and Dracontium, and was also one of the first Americans to succeed in growing Nepenthes rajah. +More Christopher Rogers wrote: > I got a hold of Mike yesterday. A really nice guy! he quit his academi c life to become a farmer. He has asked to be informed about the next West Coast IAS meeting, and plans on attending.
