US list members: If its true that the 946.5 Geerts 96 doesn't

I live above the border and would love to aquire it.
If you have it and are not going to use it, maybe I

Let me know by private e-mail.

Glenn: That's a very interesting observation which might have merit.
I know one Canadian Heavy Hitter that feels the same way

Maybe someone could do a survey on it & help us all in our
seed selection.
