| It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Edward “Bud” Jacobson on March 4, 2005. He was a longtime business lawyer in Phoenix and had been one of the founding members of the Phoenix Bonsai Society in 1962. On behalf of the Phoenix Bonsai Society, Pres. Michael Apostolos took possession of Bud Jacobson’s Bonsai Collection (5 trees) and his tool kit. Papers were signed with his lawyer turning over the collection to the PBS on March 25. Some of the Bonsai will eventually be put in the permanent collection at Ro Ho En at the Japanese Garden in downtown Phoenix when it gets completed. | |||
