A couple of years ago you wrote an article about rhubarb growing in the State 
of Washington.  In the article you mentioned the "Washington Rhubarb Growers 
Association."  

I am trying to locate a source who might know the total dollar sales of 
rhubarb nationwide. Since the National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) 
does not have records for lesser crops, it was suggested that an association 
be contacted.  Thus the search for the Washington organization.

Unfortunately, the organization does not seem to have a website.  Thus, I am 
wondering if you still have the contact information?  If you do, would kindly 
inform me whom to contact, along with contact info.

Purpose:  Our organization is in the process of having Benjamin Franklin 
admitted to the National Ag Hall of Fame.  Since Rhubarb was one of nine 
crops Franklin introduced to colonial America, we would like to learn the 
annual dollar sales for documentation purposes.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Respectfully,

John Walburn - Secretary
