Posted by SLRT on Thu Dec 15 15:59:38 2016, in response to "Book of last runs" SelkirkTMO, posted by bingbong on Tue Dec 13 19:58:13 2016. I know this is my third time around, but sometimes it isn't until you lose someone that you realize things you never thought about.When English comedian Dudley Moore learned that his long-time comic partner Peter Cook had died, Dudley said something like "The f---ers dead! I can't believe it. There's a hole in the world." Selkirk and I are of an age, and shared memories, such as of Pacifica Radio (the much better predecessor of "Public" Radio) and people and events, that are a kind of bond beyond the politics we did or didn't share. Whenever I browsed SubChat or OTChat and I saw Selkirk's handle, I always looked to see what he saying, then might click forward and/or backward to see what the discussion was. After the Third Avenue El had its last Manhattan run in 1954 they interviewed people along the line who said that they woke started in the middle of the night because they DIDN'T hear the train pass by. Now I'm a bit startled by NOT seeing SelkirkTMO in the threads. So there's a hole in SubChat. |
