Jack Brod is dead.
Don't know him?
He died January 6 at the age of 98 years and was touted by the New York Times obit piece as being the last original tenant of the Empire State Building. Jack's company - Empire Diamond - has a suite on the 76th floor in the building where it's been since 1931.
The curious thing about Brod's life, though is this line:
Mr. Brod’s other business interests included running a boatyard on City Island in the Bronx and a boat factory in Newfoundland.
Now which boat factory might that be?
