2000 Newsletter The Beginning
This newsletter tells how I got started looking for old apple varieties. For my earliest years, I either had no newsletter or one just with a list of apples found and no stories. This 2000 newsletter is a new newsletter written as if I had just completed the year 1999. In early spring, a 2024 newsletter will be posted
