Having met and talked with Dr. Franklin on several occasions, I consider myself fortunate to have been alive at the same time this scholar and titan was. The celebration of their lives was touching and enlightening. Whenever I see an orchid, I too shall think of John Hope.

Thanks for your comment, Dr. Brooks. I agree totally. What a giant he was and how lucky we are to have known him.
