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!).
