ugh.
I so appreciate this thread...and am disgusted by how many Monsanto-owned varieties I've been cluelessly growing.
Thanks, Steve, for the list below. Following the link to Seminis reveals many more favorites (Marketmore 76 cukes anyone? Ambassador, Butterstick, Bush Delicata, Table Ace squash?!!!). Considering how many seed companies Monsanto has snatched up in the last few years and how many more purchase selected varieties from them, it's clear that we're probably all putting money in the Monsanto coffers.
I'm going to make compilation of a list of such varieties a winter priority and will share my results here. Any leads appreciated.

At Fedco the following were dropped or "last chance" in the 2008 catalog due to being Seminis varieties taken over by Monsanto. It probably is a small part of what Seminis was doing, but here in the north it represented a lot of what was working well for many of us.
