        J. Meiklejohn

Many thanks to Gary, Frank and yourself for taping the talk.

  Hello Jim,


  I have two different video tapes of Paul's lecture at our Mass Annual Meeting.  If you would like, I could burn a dvd and send it to you. Thanks to Gary Jacob and Frank Howard for taping!

  Hello Jamie
  No American Chestnut Seeds to offer, but I did want to contact you. Paul Sisco thought that a local paper recorded his talk of November 22, 2008. If that is the case I would appreciate the name and phone number of that individual so I could get in touch with him.

  Another question. When do you see the Massachusetts Chapter of TACF producing their first BC3F3 seeds?

  By the way, I thought the November Chapter meeting was very successful, with Paul Sisco's talk being the highlight of the day. I hope he can stay involved with our quest.
  Regards, Jim Wood

          I don't know of any, perhaps Charlotte or Frank Howard know of some.

Hi MA Folks -

Fred Hebard and Bob Paris, scientists from TACF, are looking for American
chestnut seed for a research study (see below).  Did anyone collect any
extra American seed this year that they could part with?  Any contributions
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Kendra

Subject: purpose of seed

Kendra,

In case it wasn't clear, the primary purpose of these nuts is for a  
research project at Auburn U to find a means of eliminating  
Phytophthora cinnamomi infection or infestation of seedlings in  
forest nurseries, so we're not spreading that fungus all over with  
our seedlings.

Fred
