The passing of Dr. Guanghua Zhu per Re: Out of Office AutoReply:[Aroid-l]

From: Scott Hyndman hyndman at aroid.org> on 2005.11.27 at 10:52:21(13575) Dear Jason, I am very sadden to hear this terrible news. I knew that Guanghua was ill, but I did not know that it was so serious. Guanghua was a wonderful person and a tirelessly gifted botanist that had the unique gift of being very fluent in both Chinese and English, thus making him a perfect collaborator for the Flora of China Project. As most of you probably know, Guanghua was the "Father" of the IAS Website, and he was instrumental for several years following the inception of the site in 1996 in helping the site content to evolve and grow. I will leave the accolades of Guanghua's abilities as an aroid taxonomist and scholar to those who knew him better than I in those endeavors. Let it be simply said that world is a lesser place with his passing.
