That would be the TIRA - The International Ribes Association.  I've not
heard from them in so long I thought they had gone under.  If you or anyone
else knows where to contact them, I'll include them.  I know a member, but
he doesn't have e-mail.

>>  One of the best parts of belonging to NAFEX is meeting others with 
>>similar
>>interests.  In the past, that usually meant corresponding with them, and
>>perhaps meeting them in person if you were able to attend NAFEX1s annual
>>meetings.
>>  Now there are regional NAFEX groups that make it easier for members to 
>>get
>>together with fellow fruit explorers.  Additionally, there are allied 
>>groups
>>that aren1t technically part of NAFEX, but which are sufficiently similar 
>>in
>>goals that many NAFEXers are members of both.  Herewith is a list of
