<strike>I was told he'd died recently, but I'm finding little corroboration.</strike>
Damn dyslexia. In my life, I've grabbed hold of enough wrong ends of sticks to build the wrong end of a forest.

Glad to hear I was wrong.
That explains the lack of corroboration.
EDIT. It was a Jack Sinkhorn, one of my high school teachers. I'd misread the notice.
My profound apologies

| If I'm not mistaken, I believe Jack Strayhorn worked for many years at Emmons. |
