	If I recall correctly, the long term exposure facility,
deployed by the shuttle awhile back, carries a bunch of tomato seeds.
These seeds are to be distributed to schools across the country to
conduct experiments between space tomatos and Earth tomatos.

	For the last three years I have had the privilege of 
lecturing to the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at IPS #113 about astronomy.
The program includes one lecture on the space shuttle and current
activities in the space program.

	With that background out of the way, on to my question.
Does anyone out there in netland know whom we need to contact 
to get IPS #113 some of the space tomatos seeds?

				Thanks
