Re: [nafex] Jerry Lehman

What can I say? Very sad. I feel very lucky to have made it out to his house to visit him years ago, after the NAFEX meeting at Purdue University. He was so willing to share his knowledge.

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.
