McWorter, Jr., whom you all knew under the moniker of ecoist, passed away on October 22. He was 77.   There is little I can say about William, except that years ago he appeared from nowhere with suggestions for my site to which he eventually added several pages. And this is how I found about his passing. An author who is writing a book about Latin Squares asked for permission to use one of William's stories from my site. I forwarded the request to William but, to my surprise, there was no reply. An internet search brought up this obituary:   http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dispatch/obituary.aspx?n=william-a-mcwo rter&pid=135695825   A.

I had always looked forward to what he had to write.   IP Logged Michael Dagg Senior Riddler     Gender: Posts: 500 Re: ecoist's passing   « Reply #2 on: Dec 23rd, 2009, 11:18am » Quote Modify Thanks for letting us know that.

I was really surprised to know there was something like it where you can look at students and advisors going back in time as far as you wish to go.
