Our own favorite apple tree detective (and club member) Dave Benscoter was the subject of a recent article in the "Country Folks - Western Edition" June 2015 newsletter. Dave and his pursuit of "extinct" apple varieties have become cutting edge coolness, and it's a treat to see a familiar name and face with headlines like, "WSU researchers, sleuth resurrect "lost" apples of the Palouse." You can read the article here.
Please keep up the important (and fun) work, Dave - I'm seeing more heritage apple varieties showing up in local farmers' markets every summer.

I thought this was a really good article, Jim. Lots of info. And it was cool to read about the other people on the "lost apple" team, and how they work with Dave.
