As far as the SSE, we wouldn't have Tomatoville, there would be no huge collections of heirloom varieties available and so many wonderful seed companies if not for what began there - the great idea - in 1975. None of us will ever be in agreement for how any company or organization evolves over the years, particularly one that has been vital for more than 40 years. I am a lifetime member and offer just a few varieties, but will continue to work from within as best I can, when asked, toward any directional shifts that may be needed, and do what I can to influence them toward an organization that provides the most value.

Craig, my experience with SSE was totally different and a total waste of my money. And, it occurred during SSE's worst possible time with the (IMHO) hostile takeover of the management of the organization. I am not saying all is bad there. Only that my experience was such that I decided not to waste any more money. Since that time, I occasionally receive emails that do nothing to change my mind about future membership possibilities. Of course, my friend, your experience may be different and I salute you for your patience in trying to see the right things done. I have neither the means, nor the inclination to waste any more of my limited time.
I wish you success in your endeavors.
Always your friend
