Well said. Gene was a very special friend, and it did sometimes take some getting used to him. He respected intellect and creative thought, with or without the benefit of education; he did not always suffer fools gladly.

I certainly could never have done Comforts at Old Songs for 20 years without both his technical assistance and moral support. Chez Jake will be in need of new tech support staff to say the least.

That's the nicest eulogy you could ask for. I kind of always knew I'd always regret trying not to glean a bit more of his wisdom while he was still around. I already do.

Thank you so much. Just one question: Who are you? Initials, a/s/l, any hint at all if you don't want to reveal your name. :-)

Oh, whoops. It's Robin Tell. I don't LJ per se, so I just have a placeholder account, if you will.
