Richard (and anyone else interested in Pawpaw).

     A week or so ago I visited Kirk Pomper's planting of pawpaw at KSU near
Frankfort, KY.  (This facility is the National Germplasm Repository for
Pawpaw.).
     A few days ago, Kirk posted an announcement for a field day there on
Sept. 19.  I highly recommend that you take advantage of this field.  Kirk
and his staff do a splendid job and you'll very much enjoy yourself.
     In addition, this place is some 98 miles from Heaven (So. Indiana!).
