In the center of the sales area, in front of the glass mural, Morty Koktesky, Wayne Bourdette, Gail Stamler, Elena Andrews-Gaillard, Lori Grunes and other volunteers spent considerable amounts of time behind the information tables. They were enticing people to join the local orchid societies, the American Orchid Society while giving plenty of "free advice" to everyone that asked about orchid culture or just asked for directions to specific vendors. It was a hard job because of elevated noise level forced them to shout the information in order to be heard.
And the other activities, the full schedule of workshops organized by Carri Raven-Riemann, and presented by Ell Ronis, and the walking tours organized by, and mostly lead by David Taft -- They were a great success and well received. Many thanks are due to all the people that presented the workshops as well as all the ones that conducted tours.
I also know that Dawn was there the entire time but no one could pinpoint her last location. She never stood still long enough to rest. It was like a Dawn sighting, she was here, she was there. She was in three places at the same time…where is Dawn?…I don’t know, she was here a minute ago was the answer, but if you wait here another minute, she’ll be back. And there she came, beep….beep… Thanks Dawn for putting out all those little fires before they had a chance to start, and for making sure that all was in order.
Lastly, my sincere thanks go to a couple of people that again were instrumental in the success of the show. Thanks Julia for all your help in making this “the classiest orchid show in the country”. Thanks goes to David Horak, who took a lot of punches for things that were not his fault but stood his ground and for the many, many hours and sleepless nights that it took to put things together. Also, many thanks are due to the management and personnel of Rockefeller Center. Their professionalism was incredible. From Tom Madden and Glenn Mahoney and the management group to the staging personnel, the security and clean up crews. They all did a wonderful job. Thanks again!
None of the massive effort that is the New York Show could have been accomplished without the enormous assistance, cooperation, courtesy, and generosity of the volunteers, both members and non-members of GNYOS. The hours spend by them cannot be repaid. From the first delivery of the show materials, to the endless hours of judging, to the last bit of clean up, it was a remarkable achievement by the people that took part. As usual, I will not mention names, knowing well that I will miss listing more than a few. They know who they are… and all of us can say thanks for making this show the best ever!
And the show goes on….
