Sorry Rick. Alex Hassilev did in fact pass away last Sunday Morning, on April 21st, 2024. He was 90 years of age.
When asked about The Kingston Trio vs The Limeliters, Alex once told an interviewer:
"If the button-down scrubbed looking Kingston Trio were the undergraduates of big-time folk-singing; the Limeliters were the faculty."

I can't find anything to that effect. I hope not.
I heard that Alex Hassilev, the last of the original Limeliters, has passed away.
