My Sincerest Apology to Mr. John Power
By Jerry Jaffe
Posted: 2025-10-04T22:00:25Z

Many people came to my rescue by catching a very serious mistake in my previous blog. That post offered a humorous account of a real encounter I once had with Mr. John Power. Unfortunately, I erroneously and egregiously referred to Mr. Power as deceased. This error is mine and mine alone. Oddly, I did come across an article online that claimed Mr. Power had passed away, but it was entirely my mistake not to fact-check more thoroughly. I also hope it’s clear in the blog itself how much I enjoyed meeting Mr. Power, and that my use of the word “argue” was meant entirely tongue-in-cheek. I sincerely thank everyone who reached out with this correction, and I extend my apologies to Mr. Power for the error as well.



Sincerely,

Jerry
