What was Semie's middle name?

Does anyone reappen to know what Semie's middle name was? The reason I ask, is that Michael Marks has a Celebrity on eBay with the serial number SPM002. It's the old logo (pre 1972) and configuration of the 1966-1968 range. With the odd serial number I wonder if this may have been a guitar that Semie build right after the bankruptcy and closing of Mosrite.

I've wondered this, too. The U.S. Social Security Death Index only provides a middle initial (A) which also appears on his marriage license(s).

Thank you.

Any idea on a serial number that begins with SPM, SPK, ST, etc? I've come across a handful of guitars with stamped serial numbers that arent' part of the usual scheme. Unless these were "give away" guitars and happen to be the receivers initials.

WoW! The U.S. Social Security Death Index might only show a middle initial, but they also published an incorrect day!
"Uncle" Semie Arben Moseley passed on August 7th, NOT the 1st .......

Somehow this doesn't surprise me in the least.
