Obituary

Also from the same paper:

SWOOPE — Born in New Brunswick, N.J., Bob graduated with a degree in English from Rutger's University. During the first half of his life, he briefly supported himself as a musician (playing guitar with the Chad Mitchell Trio, among other gigs,) he worked as a professional photographer, he earned an MBA and visited or lived in about 60 countries while an international marketing manager for Westinghouse.

He left the corporate world in the 1970s, and after professional training, ran his own and others' restaurants, ranging from fast food to white-tablecloth operations offering international cuisine as well as resorts and country clubs. He also wrote more than 1,500 articles, some of which were picked up by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate, the New York Times Syndicate and slick, full-color national and regional magazines like USAir and The Virginian. He wrote seven entries in the new Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America.

I assure you that he did not have a degree from Rutger's University and probably never met Rutger or saw his cut-rate dojo. Further, the cheap stringer who 'corrected' an odd Dutch name should be prepared when I ring his or her doorbell and run away.
