Not certain, but don't think so.  John was at Cal Tech (Author of
Procedures in Exptl. Phys. and Classical Optics, both fine books that I
have.)  C. L. hosted the Amateur Scientist (Sci. Am) for some time.  On
retirement it decayed 'till Shawn Carlson revived it.  Then Sci. Am went
East and the mag. as a whole decayed along w/ Carlson's forced retirement.

p.s. in searching (Google) for the deaths? of C. L. and John Strong, I
found a very disturbing article about Forest Mim's contretemps w/
Scientific American.  Because it relates to topics discussed in Phys-L,
I intend to comment on it w/ its link soon.
