I always enjoyed reading his stories about his days around the Arnines. I truly wish I had the chance to meet him in person. He was indeed a great man. Rest in Peace, Kevin. |

Lou, while trying to keep the rhetoric down to a minimum, I don't know I just took a guess maybe he was sick it doesn't matter. His wife must be devastated as I'm sure some of us are. He wouldn't want us to stay silent, in fact he kept posting even when taking the beatings that he did over the years from raping station, train dude, and others. He wouldn't want us to stay silent, but all I have to offer is a moment of silence. One less person that I have to enjoy for the site |

Also, no, he did not always keep right on posting, as he publicly quit SubChat on one or more occasions when he couldn't get his way. I'm not criticizing him, just correcting the gross misinformation in your post. He wouldn't want me to stay silent in light of the lies you are posting. |

While I never had the privilege of meeting 'Selkoik' I enjoyed his entertaining, informative recollections of running vintage IND equipment. He seemed like a true Renaissance man, highly knowledgeable in a large variety of subjects beyond the trains and rails.And his endearing tendency of addressing everyone as "Unca". Condolences to you. May be RIP. "Stand clear of the closing doors, please." |

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. |
