I haven't heard this name in a long time. Elmer designed the Combs
mouthpiece, and also the Marcellus. Not long after that (the early 80's)
I heard he had a stroke, maybe two, and had to retire. Haven't heard a
thing since then, and of course Tom Ridenour eventually took up that
position at Leblanc. I'd like to know more if anyone on the list knows.
