Thompson’s poem “Progress” featured in The Hoosier Kernel

The Hoosier Kernel, the newsletter of the Indiana Nut Growers Association, edited by J.R. McKenna (December 2009, volume 56, number 4) featured my father’s poem “Progress.” See page 8.

The Indiana Nut Growers Association is part of the Northern Nut Growers Association. The placement of one of my father’s poems is quite appropriate since his grandfather E. A. Riehl was one of the premiere horticulturalists of his day, specializing in the grafting of nut trees to create new varieties.
