If anyone lives in Washington state, or can go there very soon, there is a need to have someone go to Don Balser's place there and collect nuts.
I was contacted by Theodore Danicki in New Jersey who says that Rutgers wants to plant walnuts from Don's collection to screen the seedlings for disease resistance and quality. Don, unfortunately, has reached the point where he is unable to work the trees any more and can't collect the nuts. He is going to have to sell his place next year. So someone is needed who could go to Mt. Vernon, Washington to collect the nuts. His full address is 1458 Donnelly Rd., Mt. Vernon, WA 98273
If you can help, the contact address is:
Cook College
Department of Plant Biology and Pathology
59 Dudley Rd.
New Brunswick, NJ 08901
Attention, Sarah Baxter
You can contact her at Sarah@rci.rutgerts.edu.

Thank you.
