That is truly sad news. I talked to Jay regularly at the Working Wood
symposiums. They won't be the same without his tie removal and bad jokes.

Requiescat in pace.

I just learned that Jay Gaynor, who was the Director of Historic 
Trades at Williamsburg passed on this morning.   I have known him for 
quite a few years and his knowledge of 18th Century tools and trades will be
sorely missed.
