Thanks, and So Long, Gene
I said goodbye to an old friend this past weekend. I will miss him. He (and his family) taught me a lot about fruit growing, but I will remember him most for teaching me to be a better extension agent/advisor. He told me what farmers knew and what they wanted to know. He pointed out, in private, how something I said or wrote might be heard by or impact growers. I called him when I needed advice on resolving conflicts between growers or growers and other community members that ended up on my doorstep.
