Two queries.

First, does anyone know where I can find blackberry or raspberry plants? My local store has sold out of them.

Second, does anyone know how to find contact information for a specific doctor, if you don't know where in the country he is these days?

As for the first, I'm afraid I don't have a good idea, if there's no local store or nursery that might have them.

As for the second, if he's a member of the AMA then their physician finder service might be useful. Otherwise, maybe he's listed with WebMD or one of the major insurance companies' services?

Actually he/she doesn't have to be a member of AMA to be listed there; he/she simply has to be licensed. I've used the physician finder before and have had success with it.

And he sees one of the major conclusions of the work being that you can’t talk any more about the faculty job — since it has evolved in so many directions.

My first impulse is to try in Google; second would be http://www.411.com/

Quick reality check: do you mean actual blackberries or black raspberries? They taste different and have very different growth habits. Google has turned up a few nurseries with raspberries, this one looks to have appropriate selections for your climate. The descriptions don't leave me at all sanguine that the raspberries involved are actually worth eating, or that the nursery is actually managed by raspberry lovers. Raspberry and blackberry are plants that want partial shade, and may become invasive if given even marginally appropriate growing conditions. Blackberry is considerably less vigorous under the conditions I'm used to (dense clay soil, south central PA). I'm used to escaped garden cultivars growing wild in the PA woods tho, and I have *no* idea if the varieties have stayed "true" or not. The wild cultivars had better tasting berries than nursery cultivars.

Arg. A few weeks ago, Costco was selling blackberry/raspberry/blueberry, um, I'm not sure the technical term, but starters -- maybe 2 ft tall with roots. Don't know if they're still onsale.

Otherwise, I've regularly gotten catalogs for http://www.noursefarms.com/ a nursery which seems to focus on berry bushes...

As for the doctor, yeah, I'd probably start by Googling for him. Is s/he likely to be a published author anywhere? Journal articles often include the author's affiliations and location...

It seems that the author Sara Cone Bryant published several collections containing the tale. STORIES TO TELL TO CHILDREN , EPAMINONDAS AND OTHER STORIES FOR LITTLE ONES , BEST STORIES TO TELL TO CHILDREN , .

*Laughs* Fly out here to Western Washington and you can have all the blackberries you want, for free!

I was thinking much the same thing. Heck, I'll wrap branches in wet towelling and ship! They'll survive. They survive everything else.
