All of the MDBs in Betty's list are listed in the Dwarf Iris Society 1992

was given as no longer in business.  Vivian Grapes was listed as deceased and 
Hazel Grapes was listed as living in Big Springs, NE. The intro years are as 
follows:

I have slides of a few of these.  Some of the DIS Yearbooks may have some 
information about the Grapes sisters, but I don't have time to go searching 
through all of them.
