Why Track This
A living researcher and direct correspondent of this project — the person whose skepticism about the standard closure narrative triggered the deeper research this whole wiki is built on.
Current State
Wrote the 2017 article collection compiling period trade-press clippings and Tips’ 1973 speech alongside his own analysis. Emailed corrections July 13, 2026 questioning the implied 1933-36 closure gap, the Tips Glass Sales Corporation’s structure, and citing specific dated counter-evidence — most of which subsequent research (Tips’ letters, Michael David Smith’s book) corroborated.
Next Action
None — his open questions are tracked individually; see the “candidates” category if any remain unresolved.
Notes
His Facebook posting habit (“Grace Armantrout Museum” page) is itself referenced in his own 2017 collection as an ongoing outreach channel.
