Jackie,

Is the winter one the one that gets mailed, or one of the on-line ones? I 
confess that the odds of my reading an on-line Pomona are close to zero, so 
I'm much more willing to write something for the printed version.

Of course, this year was a total bust for me fruit-wise, so anything I write 
will be a lament about critters, and perhaps isn't what folks want to read 
anyway.  Although I did browse on some fresh alpine strawberries and Fall Red 
raspberries last weekend, and expect to do the same today.

Oh, and what's your deadline?

all the best,
Ginda
