I just received this note from Tom Plocher in Minnesota:

<x-tad-bigger>Sad news. Elmer Swenson passed away on 24 December, 2004. He was 91 years old.

</x-tad-bigger>------------
Elmer had just turned 91 on December 13. He was a founder of NAFEX and someone who exemplified fruit exploring better than anyone I know. To say he will be missed is an understatement of the highest magnitude.
