Too much work, too little month . All the necessary info is in the newsletter. We have “super” small boxwood for a small boxwood workshop by Fred Morales. Information will be given out and sign up at our February meeting. We just picked up the material today so I can’t give the price as Fred didn’t know the cost of the material until pick up. We will send out all Day of Bonsai info to our sister clubs on Monday. John Naka “ A Wise Man” When John Naka met someone it didn’t matter if they were just a beginner or advanced in the art of bonsai, he took time to help them increase there their knowledge in the art he loved so much. John never met a person he would consider not worthy of his time or talent. Everyone he met was special and even though they were not as proficient in bonsai as he, they had something to contribute as a person and by helping that person he enriched no only their life but his as well. Naka was a wise man who was not only a master of bonsai but of life itself. Some of us have a way to go mastering both. Leo Fortner
