With the #ACSmtg going on this week please let us know if you have any C5 updates for the historian report on Friday. New job, moves, retirements, promotions, awards, etc. Send updates to our historian John Kaminski, Ph.D.


From Penn State Turfgrass and John Kaminski, Ph.D.: We are sad to learn that Professor Emeritus Dr. Tom Watschke passed away last night. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Of note for C5, Dr. Watschke was 45th C5 Chair in 1990; ASA Fellow 1991; CSSA Fellow 1992.
