Jay McMillan THAYER
Jay McMillan Thayer died on September 28th after a long illness. Born in Wenatchee on December 3, 1955, to James Lewis and Buryl Stewart Thayer, Jay grew up in Spokane. He attended Lewis and Clark High School and later the University of Washington, graduating with a degree in English. He earned an MBA from Indiana University in 1985, and thereafter worked at a Manhattan ad agency. By turns, Jay wrote speeches for corporate executives in NYC and worked as a public relations specialist for the Long Island Public Hospital.
