Of course I knew right away, but I had no idea that this forum existed.

I have two completely unrelated connections to Stevenson, both meaningful in their ways.

I went to college with him in the early 70's, and although we were not close, I hung with some of his house-mates, downed more than a few brews with him, and felt very comfortable with Stevenson around. The atmosphere just seemed to chill a little (in a good way).

By coincidence, I also moved to New Orleans and fell in love with it, probably a few years before he did. Sadly, I didn't even know that he had moved there until it was too late.

That's all I've got. And the very vivid memories.
