I met with John Schnellman.  We had another one of our great conversations about this years cherry season. John was most enthusiastic   about Lunds plans to advertise and promote N/W Cherries. The had just about cleared the Calif. cherry deal when all of the Calif. problems happened.  They got some of the 1st. N/W Cherries out and they look great in the stores. The had Rainiers that were outstanding. (some 8 row). I discussed a sales contest with John and he will send me his ideas and plans so I can set it up.

I the met with Ben Bonditch. Ben explained his background and a few people we both knew in the business. Ben is very interested in our stone fruit and is looking for something to set them apart from other chains. We discussed our fruit and he assured me that they would be using it.
