BK, Richard's NY Times obituary was in my emails this morning. My first impulse was to call you and check on you. I knew you would be devastated, but a 4:00am phone call would be no comfort at all. DR John G was right; the news is like a death in the family, and I'm sitting here teary-eyed over a man I only met personally once, thanks to you, but I'm grateful I had the chance to tell him how much I loved his work. Thanks to you as well, I feel I knew the man through your comments about him on HHW.
Bless you both.
