The Orchid Garden

Frank "Stubb" Cobbleigh, RIP

Question:

When I did motivational seminars, one of the things I tried to impart was how small actions affect the world like skipping stones in a pond…….ripples in the water.  How many people have been helped simply because you knew and benefitted from such a person?  Many, I supect. Condolences. Diana

Response:

Thanks, Diana. He was a joyful person, and it’s a sad day for all of us. And yes, that joy left ripples, which I hope will continue to spread, and spread… Val

I’m sad to say that I’ve just had word that my Dad’s best friend of 70+ years, Stubb Cobbleigh, has died. Stubb was an orchid hobbyist in the Nashua, NH area, living in Dunstable, MA. When I first got interested in orchids he was very kind to a newbie, showing off his underground growing area, watering system, etc. Wake is Friday of this week, anyone needing info please e-mail me at Val Allgrove, eldest of Carl Allgrove

I hope someday to get such a succinct eulogy.  Someday in 60 years or so.  ’kind to newbies’ is the best kind of person, regardless of vocation.

– Rob’s Rules:           http://www.msu.edu/~halgren   1) There is always room for one more orchid   2) There is always room for two more orchids      2a. See rule 1   3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase      more orchids, obtain more credit
