So then, Estler's ML is totally unrelated to Radiator Charlie's ML ... not even same parent lines?
****
It would seem so PV, wouldn't it, since we know the four varieties that were supposedly used for Charlie
s creation and we know the parents of the Estler one.
I will say that I knew about the Estler one when I was writing my book and I asked Jeff McCormack what he knew about it. I can't remember the exact words, but in essence he said he doubted it.
I didn't refer to it or include it in my book and at that time I hadn't yet grown it.
And knowing Jeff, I don't think the fact that he was th e one who I think interviewed Charlie to get the story he put in the SESE catalog , that has been so widely disseminated, would alter his view b'c of that. But he never told me WHY he doubted it and at this point I think we have two stories re ML and it indicates two different ML's, at least on the face of it it does to me.
