<pre>NSW (Au) members will be already aware, but I thought it important to
notify the rest of the membership of this list, of the passing of
Damian Conlan, Saturday morning last.
Damian was a staunch supporter of olive growers in the state, a well
respected "authority" on the horticulture of olives, and an especially
nice bloke. He was also a "lurker" on this list, emerging from time to
time to advertise his courses and to add to discussions. His
enthusiasm, depth and breadth of knowledge of olive systems, and his
willingness to dispense this knowledge widely will be sorely missed by
growers in NSW.
Typical of the man, he was preparing to commence one of his trademark
courses on olive oil quality (along with Richard Gawel and others) at
the time of his death, from a massive heart attack.
Damian's passing will be a great loss to all those who knew him.

<pre>Not only was Damain Conlan a marvelous source of information and technical
expertise he was unique in that he was a really nice guy, a pleasure to be
with, and his passing away so early in life seems so unfair and unjust.

He will be sorely missed by all those whom he had dealt with.

Thanks for advising us John
