Many of DV’s old friends ask about him. Here he is, up a tree, 
in one of his orchards near Cortez, Colo. He is 74 now and going 
strong. Jerre helps him operate the 320 acres of orchards. His 
pride and joy are the Double Red Delicious Apples, a new variety 
that is crisp and juicy; but peaches, prunes, sweet cherries and 
apricots suit me, not to forget those pies made from Rome Beauties. 
Barbara, Bernita, and Robert are still in school. Delavan, Jim, 
and Bill are taking over operation of the seed business and doing a 
good job of it too. I keep reminding them that the easiest and 
best way to retain customers is to furnish better seeds than the 
other fellow. |
