Your post is wonderful and captures so muc...Marie,<br /><br />Your post is wonderful and captures so much of the essence of Marshall's amazing effect on people everywhere. Jim is indeed right--you never saw anything like Marshall when he was on the trail of an exciting new person or idea. And you should have seen the way he used that phone!<br /><br />The irony of his passing on the day Obama was elected is not lost on many who watch and think about the culture and politics as Marshall did. As jovial and positive as he was, he knew the consequences of our choices and actions were very real. I witnessed this indomitable man on a few rare occasions as he got what he called, "a sudden gust of despair". Almost as suddenly (seconds) he would be back to his larger-than-life self again, helping all of us gain or keep perspective. He knew how much we all need to keep trying to seek the truth and conform our lives to it--and he lived that even when it wasn't easy.<br /><br />My guess is you are asking intercession of the right man. He's probably figuring out who to call to get you connected to the right people right now!<br /><br />Marshall, my friend, you are missed.Alan Schaefferhttp://schoolandstate.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31105118.post-13489191586217316012009-11-04T22:51:03.146-05:002009-11-04T22:51:03.146-05:00Thank you for the wonderful remembrance of a wonde...Thank you for the wonderful remembrance of a wonderful man.

I was often the shadow following behind him as he met anyone and everyone! And now that I can no longer be that shadow I desperately miss his wisdom, courage and truth-filled manner!Annie McKenna in Pittsburghnoreply@blogger.com
