Dear Forest Pathology Colleagues
Elizabeth Nair has sent me the attached two fine photographs of one of our special colleagues of years gone by. These will be added to the gradually growing Photo album of Forest Pathologist and Forest Entomologists.
Please visit the site if you have not done so previously. Send photos for inclusion and please suggest annotations if you have a chance to do so.
All best wishes

Dear Dr Wingfield,
With intererst I saw your Webpage with Photos of Plant Pathologists.I do think my late husband
Prof. Dr. VM Gangadharan Nair -- should be there. He taught for 40 years Plant- and Forest Pathology and Mycology at UW Green Bay WI USA.
He was a student of JC Walker and James Kuntz who was Rikers student ---- a fine lineage!!
I am sending you a photo with his root cutter in Madison WI in 1959 and then also a photo taken prior to his passing on Mar 10 2010.
It would be nice if you could upload it.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Nair
Green Bay WI
