Hi Karl-

Thank you so very much for the paw paw seeds, which arrived day before 
yesterday. They are a little moldy, but I am going to rinse them in warm 
water with clorox, and I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm really looking forward 
to paw paws. I have never tasted one, but I'm sure they're wonderful.
