We are very sorry to hear of Lou's death. Just found out today on Jan. 3, 2020 by checking Florida's obituaries and was concerned by not receiving a usual reply to our holiday letter. Lou and I go back about 70 years when we competed against each other's team (I was a member of the Ohio State team and Lou was on the Michigan State team0 in a national flower judging event in either Washington, D.C. or Baltimore in 1950. We discovered this coincidence many years later after Lou worked in Wisconsin in floriculture extension and I was working in the family business, La Crosse Floral Co., in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Margaret and I did visit Lou and Miriam once on a trip to Florida and followed his career through their holiday letters also. We extend our sincere sympathy to the Berninger family at their loss.
