Personally, I don't know. The last time I saw him was at the Mifflin
STD Nats in 2001. That may have been one of the last contests
which he participated in. I could ask people who I'm sure would
know, but I don't want to pry. A long time ago, I heard he was
living on Buzzard's Bay and sailing every chance he could. I learned
a lot from him, and he would always ask how my father was doing
when we talked. If he wants his privacy, I will respect that.
