Showing Original Post only (View all)I introduced The Magistrate to DU [View all]
(I posted this in EarlG's thread but it's waay at the bottom and contains info you haven't seen before so I reposted)Yes I'm boasting.
Like Blue Roses, James was enraged over the 2000 election results. I said something like Why don't you find a site where you can say what you think? Here's one you might like.
I am not The Magistrate's wife. I'm a very lucky member of his extended family. He equally divided how much time he would spend with his wife or me, and everything was fair. We were together almost 30 years. He and Mary, who met in high school, were together 57 years.
Lithos will be posting the obituary that will appear in tomorrow's Chicago Trib, and he might post some photos.
The word "brilliant" pops up in a lot of posts. I counted on his brilliance to help me understand stuff that long Covid has made hard to comprehend.
That's all I can say right now. He's all over my apartment and I cry in every room.
A toast to The Magistrate!!!

I am so glad you brought James here. Those of us who interacted with him will be forever grateful.
