[MassChestnutOrchards] Christmas and Hanukkah wishes

[John Meiklejohn]

Susan and Gerry,

If you come north in the Fall of '09 put Sarah and myself and the Granville, MA orchard on your  itinerary.  Our big old house has plenty of room to put you both up for a night or two as you travel through New England.  We'd both be delighted to see you and show you the fruits of our collective chestnut labors here in Granville.

Cheers,
John

  Hello All,
  Christmas and Hanukkah wishes come to you all from Cabot, Arkansas. Hope this finds you all healthy, free from (shoveling) back strain, and storing up energy and enthusiasm for the '09 chestnut growing season.

  Rufin shared the news of your orchards' coping with the recent ice storm Sorry to hear of the damage at Brian's farm, but happy to read that there was relatively little damage elsewhere. Now you all have winter snow to contend with.

  Gerry and I hope to visit your orchards in the fall of '09 when we come northeast for family reunions. Wish we could come when orchards are abloom. Perhaps another year. Our little "orchard" on our property consists of Chinese, chinquapin, and hybrids of the same. We hope to put in more pure chinquapin in the spring - 15 or so - as we've given away the balance of our seed.

  So, best wishes all,
  fondly,
  Susan and Gerry Cormier
