<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.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Glad to hear I was wrong.

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.
