[MassChestnutOrchards] Current board list draft

[Fred Hebard]

Hi Frank,

Wise words as usual.

For the moment, the expedition to China doesn't mean much to us as we  
don't have any plants brought back from China.  However, we hope to  
move forward with that.  In the long run, we may end up trying to  
breed with other species of chestnut from China, as they appear to  
have high resistance.  I expect the chapters will play a part in  
that, but I don't see much happening for a few years.
