BK: What can I say. You summed it up nicely about Art. Sometimes he just fumbled around and got lost. Sometimes I (we) had to hold his hand and guide him again and again. Sometimes we'd laugh, and sometimes secretly get frustrated. But all in all, it was a wonderful and touching experience.
I think he brought many of us back to the basics, and made us laugh and appreciate the small things. We can't deny how he touched the lives of so many, across so many boards. If in doubt, just type his name into Google, and see how many items it brings up.
Thank you for your kind words about me. That brought a tear to my eye. I think our meeting (his and mine), was simply fate, or something similar. Our chance meeting opened many a door and brought so many people together. Funny how one posting on one site, can do so much.
So here's to Papa once again. He even brought you here this evening, and let us chat on and on. One person can make a big difference in the scheme of things.
Warmly,
