Default What became of these promising tomatoes?

I was reading old threads and found three interesting new tomatoes on which I can find no further info. Anyone know what happened to these?

VinceP1, cross of sungold & CP by Vince:

Fluted white beefsteak by Lakelady, with seeds also given to Tania:

I am still growing Vince P1 yearly. It produces dark cherries, resembling Black Cherry when ripe. It is a strange variety. When it seems ripe, it tastes rotten. But if I pick it just before it looks and feels fully ripe, it is astoundingly delicious, which is why I keep growing it. It does have one other annoying trait - if even the humidity rises, it splits wide open, even when quite green. After an actual rainstorm, forget it! It does do much better in my greenhouse, where I can control the water better.

I just checked my 2017 SSE Yearbook and a long time friend of mine is listing it,he says

85-90 days, PL, 8-12 oz blunt pink fruits, slightly heart shaped, good yields, very good to excellent flavor,accidental cross of Large Pink Bulgarian with unknown heart, stabilized by Darrel Jones of AL

Nothing said about cold tolerance and he grows tomatoes in WI.

Thanks Carolyn. I'm glad it hasn't disappeared. With that kind of cold tolerance, we should all be breeding the buns off it.
