The plant pathology departments at UW-Madison and at North Carolina State University are jointly sponsoring a memorial for Arthur Kelman to be held at the American Phytopathological Society meetings.  The event will take place in Room A105 of the Convention Center, on Sunday, August 2, 2009, from 4–5 p.m.  There will be brief remarks from a few invited speakers, followed by an opportunity for others to provide comments, if they wish, and then a chance to mingle.

For those who did not see it, an obituary for Arthur appeared in the Madison paper thus:
