Bill, there are pics posted in another thread.
If that is LB, I would expect to see large black blotches on the stems for the amount of damage showing on the leaves. The stems seem to be fairly clear considering the dismal condition of the foliage, and the discoloration on the leaves doesn't seem to be as black as it should for LB either.. I have strong doubts about this being LB.
I am astonished that the county extension could diagnose LB over the phone without seeing the plant or at least a pic.
