Preferring to be called "Chuck," the personable Brodel is enthus- iastic about his position at the station because of the opportunity to both teach and do research. While a student at Cornell University, Brodel worked summers at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, It was then that he branched out into berries-cranberries, black- berries, raspberries, strawberries— and apples and cherries.
