I thought I was through mourning the death of an old friend until an upcoming musical gig brought it all back to me. Well, I’m lucky to have known Bill “Frenchy” Emrie and even luckier to be able to tell this story. Miss you brother.

There are around 150 species of Rhus (sumacs) found around the world in temperate regions. They are found in both North and South America...
There is only one species Mandevilla in Arizona, but there are over 100 species found (maybe as many as 200 spp.?) if you start...
Petey is excited about old pack rat middens and talks about our local pack rat species, Neotoma albigula.
