Autumn 2017 Tour to North Sichuan.
Some of you may have read of the recent, very sudden, death of the orchid expert Dr Holger Perner - see this thread :
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15410.0His widow, Wenqing Perner intends to continue with the Tours she previously arranged with Holger. There are one or two places left on the Autumn 2017 Tour to North Sichuan.
You can read all the details in the attached pdf - you will see that Wenqing has had no chance to change the text since the sudden death of her husband.
As I have heard from Mary E. Gerritsen, the American author - Wenqing is committed to carrying on Holger's efforts, both in the Botanic tours, and in the orchid conservation/business that they set up. She already had several people signed up for this tour before Holger's untimely and completely unexpected death and wants to honor her commitments to her customers. She has arranged for an expert English speaking (an American) friend and plant expert to be the botanical guide for the tour. Wenqing has always made all of the tour arrangements (buses, hotels etc) and knows the stops and places to visit as well as anyone.
The tours were a significant part of their annual income, so it is important for her family to continue them.
