HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

In the 50's, my dad, Gabriel Beltran developed a beautiful pink rose named after his bosses' daughter, Carol Amling. When he retired, he was hired by a large corporation in Columbia, S.A. to go there and set up a greenhouse for roses. He and mom went to Bogota, Columbia and were there for 3 years. He was paid very well --- all expenses paid which included air fare and housing. My father worked for 50 years in the rose business, except for a hiatus of 4 years where he was employed in the Navy Shipyards in Long Beach during the war years. After the war, he returned to his former work and was made foreman of Amling Roses. While in Bogota, he became ill and was diagnosed with cancer. He and mom returned and stayed at our house. He died three months later. He made many friends in the rose business many who consulted him because of the knowledge
of roses. (Bill Warriner)
