I can't find any Guy Straley in Wisconsin. So far, I've had no luck finding a Guy Straley Ph.D., either.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Is "Guy" short for something?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
He said once that his Mother loved Gustav Klimt and that's how he got his name. He may have meant his board name, but maybe "Guy" came from "Gustav".

What sort of things did Gus teach? I've found a number of "Professor Straley"s and many of them are scientists with many publications.

I tried looking him up at the University of WI, because he was associated with it for a while. I don't know if he got his Ph.D. there or not, but we did have a discussion about the university's particle accelerator which he was familiar with. What his actual area of expertise was, I have no idea.
ETA: I seem to recall his house was near Cameron, WI. He'd given me driving directions there, once. Never got a chance to go visit, which makes me very sad now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gus was a chemical engineer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, could you not see me nodding? Yes, thread, no, vote.

I'm going with the majority here. Yes thread, no vote, charity good.
I looked up Cameron, Wi. The county seat is Barron, the Barron News-Shield is the paper for Barron, and all of December's obituaries are listed, but Gus isn't among them. The next nearest town is Cameron. It has all of November and December's obituaries online. There's none there, either. Maybe he just didn't have an obituary?
Amy - Jan 01, 2007 1:44:38 pm PST #7444 of 10001
Because books.
I think someone has to submit an obituary, don't they?
Yes to the thread, no to the voting for thread, and any kind of charity that does good will be fine, I think. We'll be doing good in Gus's name either way.
