Nicholas "Nick" Stratton (original last name: Strelka) dies at age 96 in Nottingham, Maryland. He begins working for the U.S. Post Office in Weirton, West Virginia, as a 16-year-old, delivering mail to residents and businesses in a ten-block area twice daily. He also works for a few months at the Weirton Steel mill as a forklift operator.  He enlists in the U.S. Army Air Forces toward the end of World War II, receiving pilot training in Greenville, Mississippi, and also served in Harlingen, Texas. After serving for more than a year in the Army entirely in the U.S. and attaining the rank of corporal, he is honorably discharged in November 8, 1945, then begins attending Denison University in Granville, Ohio, on the G.I. Bill (which pays his tuition), graduating from Denison in May 1949, earning a B.A. degree in economics. In the summer of 1948 he also attends classes at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He marries Dorothy Lentz in August 1949, a native of Newark, Ohio, where she had worked as a secretary at the headquarters of Moore's, a regional chain of discount stores. They move to Chicago and Nick works in claims for Kemper Life Insurance Company and also in the manufacutring plant of Advance Transformer Company, while Dorothy works as a secretary for a couple of companies. They then move to Detroit and then to Plymouth, Michigan, and Nick works as a salesperson for Beacon Falls Rubber Footwear and then as a field representative for the U.S. Social Security Administration, while Dorothy works as a secretary for Nash-Kelvinator and then for The Flintkote Company. Dorothy quits her Flintkote job in 1956 while pregnant with Nick's and her first child, a boy. She and Nick have a second child, a girl, in 1958. While living in Plymouth, Nick hosts a weekly 5-minute radio show, "Your Social Security", on WPAG Radio in nearby Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1958 and early 1959. On the show, he answers questions about Social Security from listeners. Nick earns a promotion which necessitates transferring to the Baltimore area, headquarters of the U.S. Social Security Administration. He and his family move to Baltimore, Maryland, in May 1959 and then to the Westview Park neighborhood in Catonsville, Maryland, in May 1960. Nick continues working at Social Security headquarters, rising to become a management analyst before retiring at the end of 1989. After raising their children, he and his wife take several overseas trips beginning in the 1980s, including to England, Ireland, France, and Russia.  Nick's retirement includes attending the University of Maryland Baltimore County for free as a senior, learning about history, foreign languaes, and other things.  He and his wife moved to their daughter's house in Nottingham, Maryland, in 2016. His wife died at age 90 on April 9, 2018. He was born on May 22, 1926, in Weirton, West Vieginia.
