I have no idea how many of you might be "close by" to Pittsboro NC - approximately 17 miles south of Chapel Hill NC, about 34 miles west of Raleigh NC, but Lee Calhoun will be giving a talk, and having his new book available February 10, 2011 (see below).  I know that Lee's name has come up on this list several times.  I am lucky in that he lives relatively near me, and years ago was the one that showed me how to graft.

I thought some on the list may be interested.
