Heresy. Proper procedure is to put the broadfork level on the ground, step on it, fall to the left because the right side has a rock, dig it out with a garden fork, try again, fall forward as the center of the fork slides backwards off a rock, bend at least two tines of the garden fork digging that one out, repeat, dig a crater to get to the boulder you have just discovered, wrap your arms around said boulder and roll out of the hole because it's way too big to lift, wiggle out from under after a brief moment of panic and admire your trophy, fill in the hole, enjoy your freshly tilled garden.
And I will search through the Yearbooks for your missing 2000+ years. That will be book-by-book, since I already notice varieties in 2000 that were not part of the 116 listed in 2006. I also have a 1992 Yearbook, but apparently MN LO R had not yet joined SSE... @Jack Holloway , are you able to pin down the first year he listed?
I found one stack of yearbooks, and there are no listing for him in 1996 or 1997. In 1998, he is there, listing 149 varieties of beans. Maybe I don't have all of the 90s, I really don't remember when I joined, and I've had fits of cleaning, plus mice and rats have found their way into my unfinished basement, and I might have boxes of year books down there that are eaten. Or not. I will look for 1999 on, in the stack I've found, to see if there are more listings for MO LO R.And I will search through the Yearbooks for your missing 2000+ years.

And as you are probably aware @Bluejay77 , some of the varieties you have now may have been developed posthumously from Robert's breeding lines.
This should be fun! It would have perhaps been easier if SSE had not deleted their online Super Yearbook - which I believe they have yet to restore? Beuller???
Ummmm.....I did not know that those were two different beans, I thought they were the same thing! Oooops!
I was not aware that someone else could have developed any of his beans after his death in 2006. I figured that what ever he must have listed in the yearbook in the fall of 2005 was the end of the road for an new bean titles from him. Who would have been those developers after 2006?
