Every time we meet as a group of old journalism department profs in
"The Booth," we toast Bob Illidge, my late best friend,and tell jokes about him and quote him.
That's how I want to be remembered by my students, that they sit around a bar, toasting me, thinking about the time I've having in heaven, or more likely, hell, having a good time with a sense of humor and a Manhattan, watching my precious children and grandchildren, hoping they remember me fondly, as do most of my former students.
Salud!
That's what's brewing in my coffee pot.
I'll drink to that. Cheers, Lindsay
ReplyDeleteI was never your student but I am priviledged to have gotten to know you through work. In so many ways you were Zach's mentor. Not sure how you feel about that.....but in my book that is a special thing. So, I too will drink to that.
