He was Japanese, incidentally, some of the major players in the industry, which is another fascinating story, but I digress. Until Columbia took over California cut flowers were it and there are still quite a few in Half Moon Bay. The reason was that planes would fly out from the East with manufactured goods and would fly back empty. They could fly the flowers back so inexpensively that it became a thriving business. I suspect we fly something to Columbia that makes it desirable to fill planes up on the way back (with something besides the obvious :-))Donald Steinyhttp://stories.steiny.comnoreply@blogger.com
