Steve, did you get this info yet? I was locked up with Region 22 all
weekend or would have responded to your first request.
Found it in the '49 checklist, but it is the victim of an apparent typo.
There is no Whiting N. in the abbreviations list up front. There is a
Whiting E., one Mrs. Elizabeth Whiting. Perhaps her late husband's first
name began with an N?
GLAD TIDINGS (Whiting N., r. 46) TB-M. Y4M, which means, I gather, medium
yellow self. Smells like honey locust.
If anyone knows a tale behind this typo, I'd love to hear it.
By the way, one of my delights at our regional meeting was standing up and
announcing that I belong to Region 15 when Louise Carson asked about
out-of-region participants. People said, Southern California? No way. And I
said Yes way.
So cool.
