4beanies says: "Isaac Gilman, born in Russia, started peddling papers in the U.S. when he was 19. At 43 he bought an interest in a paper mill at Fitzdale, Vt. Five years later he was sole owner. The hamlet grew from four houses to a thriving, modern community of 1,100. In gratitude, it changed its name from Fitzdale to Gilman. Wages in the mills were high and there was never any labor trouble. Owner Gilman kept them running full time during depression, called his workers by their first names, took an interest in their personal affairs, footed many a doctor and hospital bill.
But Isaac Gilman was distressed because his model town had no churches. So he dug into his pocket, gave most of the money to build the Methodist Church ($28,000) and St. Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church ($15,000). St. Theresa’s was soon self-sustaining, but Mr. Gilman gave several hundred dollars a year to the Methodists.
Last week, at 77, Isaac Gilman died. He was buried from Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El, of which he, a faithful Jew, was an active member. "
That could be really bad news. What do you make of it?

hmmm, those two good looking young men look like they just won Wimbledon, not sure if either of them is Isaac, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR POST DREAM, I haven't seen you here before but am really glad you came and talked to me. There is a lot of interesting stuff in this blog, it mentions Wyman so it must be our guy. Anyone else have any other thoughts?

And thanks for your welcome, Taylor!

Hmm this blog's last entry says this:
Mark down the date and time. Saturday, June 9th, at La Jolla Health and Tennis Club will prove to be yet another feather in my handsome cap. Hope everyone will join Sally and I for a celebratory cocktail at the post-tournament soiree.
Taylor, maybe DB, Jonas, and Sarah should go to (i'm guessing it's a town? lol i'm from the East coast so I got no idea) La Jolla and look into the health and tennis clubs and ask around for Isaac Gilman?

This has probably nothing at all to do with it, but there was a "Metagenomics" workshop in the Gilman Drive, La Jolla last week.
