I do know something on the subject but was told in confidence. I saw it discussed on one of the boards the other day as a hypothetical. I'll repeat the clue I gave the other day. When Bill was asked if he has hired a master grower his reply was "Yes!". I wrote (here I think) the word "Hire" was ambiguous. 


But I have NO IDEA what the Cali trip was for. That's a mystery that Bill will reveal in good time.
