I found a 8.5' 8 wt 4 piece rod in a thrift store in Southern California for $100 w/ Bill McGuire's name on it indicating he's the person who built it. I assumed that this is the world famous Bill McGuire so I bought it without hesitation. I am wondering if he is still alive and if anyone has contact info for him. Looks like he'd be ~95 yrs young if he's still with us. I'd like to verify that it was a rod he built and try to figure out when he may have built it. It's beautiful craftsmanship, not bamboo, looks like graphite. Great action, paired it w/ a Sage 2280. If anyone has any info on him, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!

John
