Thanks for letting us know. Lee was inspiring, in all the right ways.

Thanks for letting us know, Elizabeth.

I wonder where I could find an Old Fashioned Winesap apple tree to plant.
According to Lee it is cedar apple rust resistant.
The winesap is my favorite apple. Braxton sawmill in Snow Camp has/had a
full size Winesap. They gave me apples from it one year and they lasted
six months in my fridge. They are tart, sweet, winey-flavored and very
crisp, almost hard. The flesh is grainy which would put many people off.
Braxton's wife told me she bought the tree from Stark.
That would probably make it a Stayman Starkspur Winesap and how it survived
disease in their yard is beyond me. Their tree was huge but you could
easily climb it to get at the apples. I took home what had fallen on the
ground and they were in good shape. Recipe: chill some Winesaps then run
them through a hand crank meat grinder with coarse screen. Chop up some
Barhi dates (or Medjool as second choice but not as sweet or flavorful) and
mix them with the Winesap sauce. Food for the gods.

[nafex] Lon Rombaugh's site

Lawrence,

I am sure someone at NAFEX wants a copy.  I'm interested, but have no
site for it.  (Working on it)  I'm going to bring it up at the board
meeting and will get back.

Re: [nafex] The passing of Creighton Lee Calhoun

There was an obituary article in the Chatham County NC newspaper, where Lee
lived as well as several articles in various papers and publications.

Re: [nafex] Lon Rombaugh's website and archives at ibiblio. I have a complete copy of it.

Lawrence,

I hope that I'm not too late in saying that I would like a copy.

BTW, I'm migrating my email from here to antonagron@gmail.com.

What happened to his germplasm collection?

Best regards,
Anton
