[nafex] Jerry Lehman (rob hamilton)

Also me.  Jerry was my first friend at my first Pawpaw International
Conference and I saw him again at the first NAFEX meeting I attended. 
He was very generous with his vast knowledge, always polite and kind. 
An organizer so excellent he made conferences look Easy, organizations
exciting.  He will be missed!

He was undaunted by challenges, and I am hoping some of us can help
carry on and save Jerry's work, which would also be saving Jim
Claypool's work.

> 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.
