Elmer grew up on the farm west of my home place northwest of St. Francis, Kansas.  I watched him wrestle on the high school team when I was in elementary school.   He was a good role model for younger boys.  My wife and I later ran into him here in Denver when we started attending the K-State alumni lunches.  I enjoyed sitting by him every month and talking about K-State and St. Francis.  He was the principal of Shaffer Elementary School here in Littleton (Ken Caryl) which is down the hill from our current home.  Our grandchildren attended there after he retired.  We heard he was well-respected by his staff and faculty.  He was forward-thinking as an educator.  Elmer was a fine Christian man.

Elmer and I were colleagues in the Jeffco School District.  We worked closely together in developing Concept 6 a year round school educational schedule.  He was a good friend and an excellent school principal.  With sincerest sympathy, Charlie Rufien
