Default Charles Wilber, R.I.P.

I read in the October 2008 issue of Acres USA that Charles Wilber the author of How to Grow World Record Tomatoes passed away at the age of 93.

How to Grow World Record Tomatoes is a fun, comical and inspiring book to read.

I used some of his techniques to grow some tall tomatoes here in northern PA, never expecting to reach the height of his achievements, none-the-less they got plenty of attention and inspired some in the neighborhood to take up gardening.
Isn't that what it's all about?

Thank you Charles Wilber!!!!
