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.
And is Oxfam better than Heifer Intl? If so, why?

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?

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.

I think someone has to submit an obituary, don't they?
Yes. And they're actually not cheap.
I prefer Heifer, but I'm hoping kimi will weigh in before we get there anyway.
I'm really grateful she found her way here to let us know - I've thought about that in my more morbid moments in the past. Though by now my sister, and possibly my father (if he could translate "your Buffy people" into here) would know where to go and know how important it would be to me to do so.
