Dr. Dester

Has anybody ever heard about this variety? It's introduced on Baker Creek's Facebook page. History of the tomato is given below:

"A large pink beefsteak variety that reaches 1-1 ½ pounds. Its rich sweet flavor makes it an excellent slicer. The seed came to us from an Amish lady just a few miles from our Baker Creek farm. Anna worked as a house cleaner for Dr. Dester and his wife in Indiana in the 1970's. Having acquired the seed from Germany, the Desters shared their favorite tomato seed with Anna, who treasured it and now shares it with us."
