When I joined ARSC in the 19802s Elwood was one of the people who welcomed me to the group! He was indeed a very nice man and very professional as well. I am sorry to hear he is no longer with us.

Very sad to hear of Elwood's passing - he was one of the key persons behind the creation of the Rigler-Deutsch catalog, not to mention one of the nicest, calmest and professional I was privileged to work with in ARSC in the 70s and 80s. Thanks for the opportunity to remember him.
