How wonderful that you were a part of those robins! Here's a real
memory test for you - do you remember where the participants lived?
More to the point, were there any participants in the southeastern US or
southern tier of the middle part of hte US? I thought about going thru
the 50s checklist to see where all the hybridizers listed in the back
of the book were located & then trying to figure out if any of them were
participants, just to get a feel for the how much of the wierd problems
of the different regions were probably represented in the book.

that the book is compiled from years of Robin and

correspondence, and is predominantly anecdotal in
origin. Much of
the work also is speculative--and worth its
weight in gold as such.....
Wilma Vallette's correspondence was a delight. As I recall, she
typed edge to edge, often on thin light blue
paper. Typos were dealt
with by forward slash strikeovers. Nearly all of
those letters that
came my way contained material incorporated
verbatin into the book. >
