I assume so; don't think he was that old. I never met him but Katrina did, when she went to pick up a purchase; she said she was sort of creeped out and glad she had taken her husband with her. I was curious about him because of his bad reputation and bought something from him, but by that time he was no longer allowing local pickup. I do have the book somewhere--only because I had already bought it. I don't think I would recommend it.
