Got an article from Lawrence Weeks from PRX 1968 which has his photo.
Phoned him after finding a number on the internet.
He turned 93 a few weeks ago on/about 2/4.
He said he retired Feb 4, 1977 so that's probably his birthday.
Sounded good and said he had lived in his house 53 years.
Told me all about the snow they got.
He was out of power four days.
I told him I would send a copy tomorrow of the PRX article and a newsletter.
