Guy,
 
I do not think he is asking for resistant nuts, just original pure Americans.

I do not see any good coming from providing nuts to this person, 

only bad press and bad feeling from members who are willing to wait and support the organization

Jamie and Kathy:

We don't show a Cliff Olson that is or ever has been a member of TACF from the state of CT.
It would be interesting to get a better understanding of what he is doing, and intends to do with the opa materials.
I will contact him off-line.

Kathy, This seems like someone who we should help if we can.
           I remember someone at the winter chapter meeting saying that they had, or knew somone who had pure Amercans.
Does any one  who attended remember this?

The following is a rather unusual request address to our chapter.  Wondered if you are familiar with this person.

Hello Ms. Desjardin,



My name is Clifford Olson. I am a American Chestnut enthusiast and breeder from Connecticut and am interested in obtaining pure American Chestnut seeds from your state. I have an orchard that currently has many American trees from Virginia in it and as spring is just around the corner, I am hoping to greatly expand it soon with trees from many other states as well. My goal is to obtain seeds/seedlings from as many mother trees as possible from every state so that I can preserve the gene pool for the time being and eventually repopulate the surrounding area. Collecting pure American Chestnut trees is a true passion of mine and I have been doubling my recent efforts to obtain seeds from as many surviving American Chestnut trees as I can. Unfortunately getting to each state in the original range and searching about for the rare surviving mother trees is a daunting task, although a welcome one. I do not know if you have any pure American Chestnut seeds available that you are willing to part with or not, but I would be DELIGHTED to have some if they are available. I can use as many as you are willing to give. They would be well watered, protected, and taken care of. I can send you some money. If none are available, I will be disappointed but understand completely! Pure American Chestnuts from local trees are a rare and beautiful thing. Thank you for your time! I look forward to hearing from you!

Cliff Olson
