Years ago it used to Alberts and Merkell if my memory has not
totally failed me. Gene did have a brother who died several years ago
and who was in the business with Gene. Gene used to come to the Aroid
Shows in September every year and carry some of his old time favorites.
If he had not propagated one kind, that was the one everyone wanted. He
was a genuine plant person who loved his plants. And yes, all of us
have our stories about wanting something and it was not
available............. that was the routine. He is of a breed that
rarely exists any more. He will be dearly missed by those of us who
remember from the old place to the new place to the shows.
