Re: [nafex] Jerry Lehman

Wow,  this news has really hit me. I was just thinking of him a little while ago. I should have called him.  Jerry was always very kind to me and others in the group.  He was always so ubiquitous at the meeting, I find it hard to think he would not be around to give sage advice. He was my introduction to the nut growers group and I always wanted to work with him on some persimmon and pawpaw projects.
He really lived his life doing what he loved and had so much knowledge to share. Whoever carries on his work has some big shoes to fill.

In case you didn't know, he's been a long time Nafex member. "We are sorry to report that pawpaw and persimmon breeder Jerry Lehman, 82, of Terre Haute, Indiana passed away this morning following a farm accident last week. Jerry will be greatly missed by all, but his contributions to the pawpaw and persimmon world will live on."Thank you,Bass__________________nafex mailing listnafex@lists.ibiblio.orgNorthamerican Allied Fruit Experimenterssubscribe/unsubscribe|user config|list info:https://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/nafex
