Gosh, you're one of the tough guys on poor David. He seems like a nice enough guy and I've spoken to folks down your way that feel bad about the way he was treated after spending his own time to collect the pomegranates to hold those local tasting events in the first place. Weren't those newsletter comments written by him to begin with? Whatever, I think it served a good cause by helping spread the information which is what CRFG is all about in the first place.

You can find out about the currator by doing a little bit of searching in Google, Richard. It's not that hard! Malli is the current curator and had worked in genetics for some 30 years, I believe he said. Interesting fellow. I have volunteered my time there at the repository knowing that they are short on staffing and Jon has been doing a fig project for a while, documenting all of the figs in the Wolfskill collection with thousands of photographs. I just went along to help do some grunt work of gathering figs and leaves so Jon could photograph them. If you've got a special project in mind, it's best to write to whoever manages the particular species you're interested in. They love to have information about the collections get spread out to the public.
