Jim Ewanovich and I played QB that season and Jim always warned me at practice: If you see Elmer coming in, go the other way !

My heart goes out to the family with the loss of Elmer. I have very fond memories of Dot, Elmer, Marilyn and Darlene and vacations to the East coast in Ossie's motorhome!
We had some great times at various events with the children of the Capital City Chorus too!
All our love!
