[Sca-cooks] The passing of a cook

[Michael Newton]

Admantius,
Isn't one either venerable or ancient?  Also Justin showed on one show that
his measurements were very close to accurate. He knew how many glugs of the
bottle were needed to reach the right amount, or how high the pillar of salt
needed to be in his hand.
Justin was very good at what he did.
