This thread & the one at Science News have brought both laughter and tears. I met Jonathan in 1964, part of the DC folk scene. He & Andy Wallace & Mike Rivers & my husband & i actually played a gig together. Jon scared the bejesus outta me. Much later at an unsettled time in both our lives, we reconnected, much to my surprise. I look forward to recalling some of our adventures with Pete the Spy at the memorial. Sushi gathering afterward? Jon and i spent about two years together. I did, do, and always will love his "presence," his voice, his intelligence, his imagination and his gentleness. I don't think he had a practical bone in his body, and i have never found the right occasion to don the kimono that hangs in my closet. Mary
