ReplyDeleteThe gentleman in the picture with Rep. Lopez-Cantera is David Jones, and incredibly talented botanist I had the pleasure of working with at FIU.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, can go during that time? Excpet for elected officals, I guess.
leave CLC alone, at least he takes the time to tour the district and the Grove
ReplyDeleteI know David Jones as well. He is a great guy, knows his plants and is the perfect person to represent the Kampong. His tours are fascinating. I never knew plants were so interesting. He takes a genuine interest in his work. Thanks David!!!!
