Dennis: I have kept quiet re my past with opinion. You are wrong ! If a
person want's to make a donation
in any part of North America , they are free to do so. If you put a
seed that is untouchable in our sport for
most growers, that's different. Its saying, if you can afford or wish
the challenge, match or beat me with you
money. That'd not a charity, do you need a simple seed to entice people
to give or get carried away with the
challenge. I think the raffle is far more humane & justified.
That's the view from here. Bill
