My parents had all his records and we loved him, but my favorite was a recording he made of poetry. It was wonderful and some of it makes you cry everytime you hear it. Lots of folks don't know about that record. My brother knew how much I loved it and he actually found a copy and made me a tape of it. Hope you get to hear it someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-19864953715629119632008-08-01T13:59:00.000-05:002008-08-01T13:59:00.000-05:00Ah... like the others said, a most-excellent encou...Ah... like the others said, a most-excellent encounter. And don't be so self-deprecating, Phlegmmy ("although I'd not place myself in the same league intelligence-wise"). <BR/><BR/>I don't know you <I>personally</I>, but I DO know from reading you that you have those "key marks" of an advanced intellect: curiosity, wide-ranging interests, and the ability to communicate extraordinarily well. And those are just three items right off the top of my head.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-37297620562046430012008-08-01T11:20:00.000-05:002008-08-01T11:20:00.000-05:00Yours sounds like a most excellent Lunch!

It's especially nice when both parties get something out of the conversation - you found new things to learn, and he likely did, too. :-)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01119645829480810524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-36253531105628001182008-08-01T08:04:00.000-05:002008-08-01T08:04:00.000-05:00We can learn an awful lot if we but listen.
