Menge2 1University of Florida, Tropical Research and Education Center, Homestead, Florida USA; and 2Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Riverside, California, USA There have been many plant pathologists who have contributed to our understanding of the diseases that are described in the following chapters. Even the most obscure fruits in this book have had the causes and management of their associated diseases examined by several different researchers. Although far fewer individuals have made truly exceptional contribu- tions, it would be a daunting task to mention all who deserve recognition. Rather than list all of these people, we highlight the careers of two outstanding figures in tropical fruit pathol- ogy, Robert Harry Stover (Fig. 1) and George Aubrey Zentmyer (Fig. 2). Their research on banana and avocado, respectively, was unparalleled in that it extended well beyond their roles as authorities on the diseases that affect these crops. To recognize their exceptional con- tributions, we dedicate this book to Drs Stover and Zentmyer. Robert Harry Stover Robert Harry Stover was born on 2 December 1926 in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, far from the tropics he came to love. In 1947, he obtained a BSc in Agriculture, specializing in bacteriology, from the University of Guelph. From 1949 to 1951, he was plant pathologist and head of investigations on tobacco diseases with the Canadian Department of Agriculture in Harrow, Ontario. During the winter months, he attended graduate school, and in 1950 he grad- uated from the University of Toronto with a PhD in plant pathology and mycology under Professor D.L.
