I collected his birth date from a reference work in a library some years ago. I can find nothing online to corroborate it now, or anything to say he's dead, but he'd be 95 if he's still alive. Does anyone have any info on him? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ...
- His family seem to think he's dead, but don't know when.
- But this book was published only in 2012, and it is dedicated to Burston, who appeared to be alive at that time. He'll be turning 99 next month if still alive. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:30, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- We now have an article on Samuel Gerald Wood Burston. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 22:26, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
