Hey big daddy-o. Are you sure about the 'Sam'? I know the source. I saw it. Explorer's Club memorial. I just don't remember seeing that in Norm's passports. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubikslens ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Perhaps a section on his art would be appropriate. Maybe we could hammer out something like this, then put it in the page:

Elder produced a number of works which were present in the museum. He worked in stone using hand tools and pneumatic chisel. His pieces included several busts, and a large life-sized figure which served as a shower.

He painted in oil, creating many unusual pieces. His subjects were animals (often horses), people and landscapes.

Elder drew constantly. His illustrations appeared in both of his books, and accompanied numerous artifacts in the display cases in the museum. The subjects were usually maps, landscapes, people, and wildlife. He fill dozens of sketchbook which he carried wherever he went.

I'm not sure this is noteworthy. please fix this if you wish, as it is just a rough start.
