Kudos to Andy Plasz

Congratulations to Andy Plasz, longtime friend of the North Central District (even though he resides in Illinois), on his national award given to him at the National ARS convention in Palm Springs, CA Fall 2009 Convention. Andy received the Klima Medal for excellence in rose education. He has an upcoming article in the March ARS magazine which should be enlightening. Congrats Andy!
