Both said they wanted to learn to be fruit breeders and take part in the classical fruit breeding program at the University of Arkansas.Phil had been inspired as a member of the support staff of Dr. Bruce Reisch's grape breeding program at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station/Cornell University.

Phil went on to attain his PhD at the University of Florida, Paul at Washington State University.
