have a good selection of photos that Leila left in my possession. Would
you like me to search for a “generic” MA orchard photo for the last
paragraph? Or if you remind me which orchards these signs are destined
for I can look for something more specific. Also – I might suggest a
photo of the Bungy Road chestnut to go with that sign – either flowering or at
least leafed out. Nice for any visitors that might see it after the
leaves have fallen. Text looks good.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Regarding the ACF Orchard Sign order, we now have 3 versions of the wording
for the final paragraph of Panel 3. Version 1 is for Granville, MA;
Version 2 is for the Bungy Road tree in R.I.; and Version 3 will be used for
the other 5 orchards.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
