Miss Jeannine,
I would call it Dan Olson, after 60 years he deserves the credit. I'm sure it's not the exact type that came over but after all those years he made it stable and true. Keep his name attached to it so future generations of the family can enjoy the knowledge that he made it possible to share the beans with everyone.

And I would love to try them, PM me your address and I'll send a SASE.

Thanks for sharing this story, I'm always amazed when I hear stories like this. You have to admire and give credit to 1 man that preserves seeds and grows them for that many years, it has to be good if he went though all that for a bean.
