O.K. I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to know. I did it, I dug him up. I left a stuttering message on his answering machine, who knows if he will call me back (and IF it is him). If it is, he sounded good for his 89 (!) years.

And who knows if he has anything left in terms of photos and visual evidence of his work. Americans move a lot, and when they do they throw away a lot of old stuff. My research mentioned that at some point he was the owner of "Trader Lee's Outpost". Anybody ever heard anything about that place?
