JOHN
| John Macdonald retired in 1997, after 32 years with the California Highway Patrol, the last 20 as a sergeant. One of his post retirement pursuits was to photograph wildflowers. An ad in the Victor Valley Daily Press led him to Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden to learn more about native plants. He took a class on seeds from Michael Wall and learned of the volunteer prorgam. He completed volunteer training in 2000 and was assigned to the seed program in 2001. Shortly after that he began photographing seeds which, in turn, led to the development of this publication. |
