Remembering Newton

[Susan Kline]

Yes, I remember the inspired posting with which we filled Newton's
mailbox when he was gone, and how he quoted nearly every one back
at us in his delight at finding them.

And I remember how he went to Cuba and came back with hardly any
of his stuff, because he had given it all away.

And I remember how he went to Chile and fixed that Yamaha with the
bad geometry, and had such a wonderful time. I'm so glad he went.

It seems impossible that I won't be able to write him some bit
of nonsense and get an answer, or that he won't call me on that
cell phone in transit to somewhere-or-other. Gone so suddenly but never
forgotten.
