Kentucky Wonder beans -- saving seed on the vine overwinter??

I planted some Kentucky Wonder beans last year, and we didn't end up harvesting them all. My trellis now contains a few plants with a handful of dried out beans left on them. (As suggested by my username, they overwintered in Vermont.) The seeds look to be in good condition. I planted other pole beans nearby, and I'm not sure if beans cross-polinate if other varieties are nearby. Are the harvested dried beans likely to grow (a) at all, and (b) true to type, or should I just buy some new seeds?
