Nine MOS'ers were lucky enough to make the trip to the World Orchid Conference in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil last month. They were Carolyn Butcher, Gurdon Dennis, John Fancher, Georgian Franczyk, Cindy Gatny, Renie Gatny-Smith, Clara Molnar, Karen Muir and Dick Wagner. We are told that they had a wonderful time at the conference and also on their side trips to the Ariau Jungle Lodge which is built on the top of trees on the Rio Nigro, a tributary of the Amazon river and the Igaussu (Ig-gw-soo) falls.

We understand that two of the party lost their seats in Miami and had to make an 8 hour detour to catch up -- we're not going to name names but do GD & JF ring any bells? Some people will do anything to get an upgrade to first class. Watch future issues for more on the conference by some of the attendees!!
