Brad Thompson

His handiwork was everywhere at the Convention! He worked the computer for the show registration, his artwork adorned the convention literature, his framed artwork went to show winners, the boutique offered more of his works. His home was on a tour.

Many of the show entries were his hybrid creations. But Brad also had blue ribbon winners entered in the show. And all but one of the new introductions, which promise to become future winners, were his. On these two pages sample the show entries that fit one of these categories as we say "Thank You" to Brad.

	Right, B. 'Lomita Lass', a bloomin' new introduction from Brad!  Below, Brad's B. 'Patriot Games', grown by Louise Korobkin.
	B. 'Around Janet Brown', another new Brad introduction.
B. 'Black Gold', Brad's newly registered can, grown by Iris Bird, and right, new introduction B. 'Mission Bells' many of us fell in love with at the Show, but here photographed by Mary Bucholtz in a garden.
