Yup, I heard about this from a number of people when I was there. I didn't get the impression they were going completely out of retail, but their focus is obviously elsewhere. It may not be as peachy a deal for them as it sounds like, I heard that there were some very unrealistic conditions they were expected to meet, but I don't remember the details.

Interesting. When was this article released?

Hey !
No fair ! Thats where I got my start in bromeliad collecting,(1989).
Lots of good memories,and meeting Dennis,Linda,Wally and Dorthy Berg,and touring Selby.
Actually,I can understand his dilema,a lifetime of effort,some hardships along the way,and retirement calling.
But a very colorful life,and still good days ahead.
Whatever the future,I wish them the best.
Thanks for the information Mike. Good job.
Bob
