HI, I STUDIED BOTANY IN OREGON AT U OF O, OSU AND PORTLAND STATE. I RECEIVED AN MS IN 1975. I HAVE WORKED AS A FIELD BOTANIST FOR MANY YEARS AND 25 YEARS AGO MOVED TO FLORIDA AND THE CARIBBEAN. I CONTINUED MY FIELD WORK THERE AND PARTICULAR IN CUBA. I CURRENTLY RESIDE IN The Dalles Oregon AND CONTINUE REGULAR EXCURSIONS IN THE AREA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. WE JUST DISCOVERED INaturalist, AND FIND IT A WONDERFULLY REWARDING ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR NATURE EXPLORATIONS.
