Frank Fordyce articles

Frank Fordyce is one of the major figures in Cattleya hybridizing over the last 40 years.  Unfortunately he closed down his orchid nursery in Livermore just as I was getting introduced to the hobby.  While exploring I stumbled upon this nice set of scanned articles authored by Fordyce.  I've enjoyed reading them and thought they might be of general interest.

I think it would be great fun to have electronic access to all the old AOS publications just to see the history of the hobby and old advertisements etc.  In the world of scientific publishing, most journals provide access to old volumes at no cost.
