from fungi or bacteria which could cause disease in the growing crop. I was very active in international aspects of the seed industry through the International Seed Testing Association (based in Zurich Switzerland), FAO (Rome Italy) and the International Seed Trade Federation.

The best of these was a trip to Bolivia in 2003.
We live south of Ottawa near Kemptville and have three children and three grandchildren all living nearby.
