Thanks... 



...go to Bob Rimol for both setting up 

 and taking down the NHPGA display 

 at NE Grows. 



...and to Peter van Berkum who once 

 again (along with Chuck Simpson of 

 the New Hampshire Landscape Asso- 

 ciation) coordinated the many as- 

 pects of the NHPGA/NHLA Winter 

 Meeting. The location (the Old Mill 

 Restaurant in Epsom) was pleasant 

 (it was nice to eat lunch at a small 

 table by a window), and in spite of 

 the weather (slippery roads inhibited 

 travel and prevented one of the 

 speakers from attending), attendance 

 was high and, overall, the meeting 

 was a success. 



...and at Farm & Forest, thanks go to 

 Bob Demers, Mike Demers, and 



Steve Huppe for setting up and tak- 

 ing down the NHPGA display. Once 

 again, we offered people (mostly 

 children) the opportunity to pot up a 

 seedling to grow at home. We thank 

 Pleasant View Gardens for the 

 Proven Winner plugs and Demers 

 Garden Center for the soil, plants.

and general materials needed to op- 

 erate the booth. With a very interac- 

 tive display, we needed people be- 

 hind the potting bench working as 

 teacher, crowd-control expert, and 

 general publicist for the NHPGA. And 

 we thank Ann Hilton, lohn Howe, and 

 Ken Gosselin for doing these jobs — 

 often all at the same time — well.
