I was the one who undertook to save his stuff. MSU dumped the seeded
selections, but kept all the seedless ones.  Thanks to help from the Seed
Savers Exchange, most all the seeded ones were saved and sent to a bunch of
people for testing.  It looks like most weren't that great, but a few have
been very much worth saving.  Anyway, I couldn't keep up with it anymore and
turned the control of the project over to Ike Kerschner "Ike Kerschner"
<IkeandLis@aol.com>  The seedless ones were kept under the control of Dr.
Tom Zabadal "Tom Zabadal" <zabadal@pilot.msu.edu>
