[Jackie <jakuehn@verizon.net>]

Dear NAFEXers,

As the weather cools and Thanksgiving approaches, I find that I have so far 
one article to fill up the winter Pomona; we need many, many more. I know 
you're all busy, but if you can find ten minutes to write up information on 
your harvest, grafting experiences, new varieties, etc.--good or bad--we 
would all be grateful and all benefit. Email them to me or to Gretchen Ring, 
ring.gretchen@yahoo.com.

Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to reading about your growing year.

Jackie
