RE: The past and future

Hi Al,
Another Alberta grower has already contacted me and is providing me with
results from the last couple of years.  Also, I may have some info from
past years (if I can find it) but it would be incomplete in any case.  If
you have any info you can send me I would appreciate it.

PS The only point I was trying to make was that there may not have been
anyone in Alberta who was aware that Jim was compiling such a list.  I know
I wasn't until I saw your email.  Anyways, I will soon fix the Alberta
connection.

Regards
Kurt Frederick
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
