graced the world with this thought:

Thats one big problem. I have never been able to find one. I hear all the
great hunts of braggers. No one will say where they find them. Only little
hints. Mainly about an elm tree. To tell you the truth, I am not a very good
person to ask the name of any tree. I try hard to learn . Must be looking
in the wrong places. kate

One other thing... think "forest fire." Always a fine source for dead
trees, oak, elm, and otherwise. Not too recent, of course, maybe a
place that was hit in the last five or six years. I don't recommend
starting your own.
