No, Dave, I'm a retired Mnneapolis, MN bureaucrat! Although I'd like to think I was Charles Darwin in a previous life.
Just happen to love gardening, plants and research, and have been doing it a long time. Most recently, as a master gardener in Brazoria County, Tx I've edited the newsletter, answer the hot-line, designed a public garden for the library, and continue to work on a thankless-never-seems-to-be-completed relational plant database. With those tasks, and a Faustian penchant for wanting to know everything, I've done a lot of self-directed research. All that is just a pleasant way of saying I'm a plant/naturalist snoop.
Please let me know if I can help out in any way.
Monica
