As of December 31, 1975, TGC membership was 318 and the financial balance,
$1139.06.
The annual meeting was held in San Francisco, February 4, 1975 in
conjunction with the Tomato Breeders Round Table. Minutes appear below.
Arrangements have been made to meet again with the TBRT in 1976 at their sessions
in Indianapolis.
It is our lamentable duty to report the passing of Dr. Kay Verkerk in
August, 1975. A TGC stalwart, Kay will long be remembered for his extensive
contributions, particularly for the induction of many useful tomato mutants and
for his generosity in sharing these research materials.
This issue has the usual sections. As announced in the October Newsletter,
we intended to include revised linkage maps. The Canadian mail strike and Len
Butler's current leave in Australia thwarted these plans, but we hope the revised
maps can be prepared for TGC 27.
Once again it is our privilege to acknowledge the talented and willing
labor that resulted in the creation and mailing of TGC 26. Once again Dora Hunt
assumed full responsibility for memberships, financial accounts and the
management and editing of this Report. Marta Hurtado typed the master copies and
ion Fobes and Carole Meredith assisted with proof reading. To them and other
capable assistants who helped with TGC 26 we express our deep appreciation.
ANNUAL MEETING
The 1975 meeting of the Tomato Genetics Cooperative was held under the auspices
of the Tomato Breeders Round Table in Hotel San Franciscan, San Francisco,
California, February 4, 1975 at 4:30 p.m. C. M. Rick presided. A large group was
present at the meeting. Although it was impossible to ascertain the number of TGC
members attending, the attendance by members was certainly good, as it usually is in
conjunction with the TBRT.
A brief review of TGC activities for the past year was presented by the
chairman. As of December 31, 1974, the financial balance was $966.49 and membership
stood at 318.
In the absence of any other business and in anticipation of free cocktails at
the subsequent happy hour, the meeting was adjourned without dissent.
C. M. Rick, Secretary pro tem.
