FYI for those who may have known Bruno.

Long time ARS member, Bruno J. Falanga of North Andover, died at 90 on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009, after being ill for many years. Bruno joined the ARS in 1977 and was very active in the Mass. and Cape Cod chapters for many years. He served on our Board of Directors and was joint chair for the development and installation of our first Display Garden at the Case Estates. He was very involved in the two conventions our chapter organized in 1990 and 2000. He used his experiences with these conventions to write a much-used manual for the ARS on how to run conventions.
Bruno was a passionate gardener almost all his life, collecting plants from all over the world. Rhododendrons, azaleas and companion plants were his favorites. His big garden is basically a collector's garden, containing plants collected for the past 50 years.
Our condolences to his wife of many years, Natali, and his family.
