Art Margolis

I was doing some basement cleaning recently, and came across an Art Margolis book. I know a lot of younger, old-TV lovers like myself liked to read the Margolis books because they were definately written for do-it-yourselfers.

Here's my question: What ever became of ol' Art?

A quick Yahoo search tells me that he eventually wrote some books about trouble-shooting Commodore 128s, so he was alive at least until 1990.

One of the books mentions "Denny Margolis", and repeatedly shows a younger guy working on sets, so I'll go out on a limb and say his son followed him into the business. Who knows what city he was from?

If Art is still around in 2006, I'd think he would be on the internet... Perhaps he has a myspace page? Would be a kick if he joined AK...
