Trade Regrets: Jack Linton
January 4, 2012
After a long battle with Parkinson’s, Jack Linton passed away on December 29, 2011.
Jack headed up Elkhart, Indiana’s J.M. Linton Woodwinds, a company founded by his father in the 1930s. The company gained a well-respected reputation for their professional series, which have been played by ymphonic soloists in Russia, Europe, Asia and the United States. When Jack took over the company he worked on the marketing of student models and expanded the market within a few years.
