It has been heart warming to read so many nice recollections of brother Joe. I too spent some great times at both the Evanston and Chicago No Exits playing chess and listening to music. Joe walked his own path and strongly believed in his own convictions of the "right"way to do things. He was fair, but firm about the things that mattered to him. He loved good music - classical, folk, and jazz - and he was proud of his relationship with the many folk artists that passed thru the No Exit. Joe was also a great cook and we had many holiday dinners with him and JoJo. Joe always had his own clock, and often read thru the night. Once when were kids in Evansville, Ind., Joe was kicked out of the first grade because he was reading under the table while the teacher was trying to teach the other kids the alphabet. He touched many lives and, I think, we were all better because of it. As Joe would say before he put on Elgar's Pomp and Circumstances, "Time Gentlemen, please!"
