My organic chemistry professor retired and no longer has an office at my old university. I tried searching his name online and he doesn't seem to be on LinkedIn or Facebook, and no word of his current location. Tried calling the Chemistry Dept., left voice message but no answer yet. Next step is to go in person and try to find someone in the dept. who might have an address or email I can write to.
My questions are:
1. Does this seem to be an appropriate method to you?
2. If I do get his address/email, I intend to send a quick note (asking to meet or chat regarding a potential LoR/why I would like him to be the author/oh, happy belated retirement,) potential problems or tip regarding that?
3. If NO ONE knows where he is, I guess I'm out of luck, or can you think of another way to appropriately track him down?
