Kevin does a magnificent website, A Garden for the House.  This link will take you to a surprise!  Scroll down a bit, though.  Tomato Talk....Your Favorite Varieties and Mine.  Here is exciting news about the Theuret Tomato which Kevin knows about because I wrote him the story of the tomato.  He asked if I could send him some seeds which I did. 

These are the tomatoes from Veronica and Robert Theuret, age 83 and 86 respectively, who farm some of our Pennsylvania land near Meadville, PA.  Vern Shepherd, an MG buddy and a tomato aficionado suggested we propose to Seed Savers they might want to save the seeds.  After a lengthy process required by SS in Decorah, Iowa, the seeds were accepted for preservation.   Named Veronica #2323, last year Seed Savers contacted Veronica and they decided to change the name to Theuret since the tomato has been in Robert's family for 3 generations.
