Source for Patosky melons?

Greetings! I may have the spelling wrong, but phonetically it is right. Does anyone know where I can get seeds for an old cantaloupe called Patosky? It grew to a very large size and if the weather was just right; not too much rain; it made a wonderful melon. Have a great day and a great garden!

    I recall reading about this melon in old seed catalogs - it is listed as either Paul Rose or Petosky. I just looked at the USDA seed database, they don't seem to have it....I don't recall seeing it listed in the Seed Savers yearbook. Amy Goldman (wrote a book on Melons) may know if it still exists - she is an SSE member, her address should be listed in the yearbook (which I don't have in front of me now).

    I think it is spelled Petoskey, after a town in Michigan. Try that in your search.
