This is a picture of my teacher. I miss him. Today I heard an interview, or a clip of an interview, on WNYC. The author who was being interviewed made a statement about being a writer that, in tone and even in vocal timbre, sounded eerily like Ralph. At first I was freaked out, as if Ralph himself was speaking directly to me in my apartment. But Ralph died almost six years ago. I miss him, but I feel that he is very much alive because my memories of him are so vivid, and the things he taught me--so many things--are so alive in my mind.

what wonderful testimony!
"I feel that he is very much alive because my memories of him are so vivid, and the things he taught me--so many things--are so alive in my mind."
as he gave to you; you are giving to others AND
this is the wonderful thing..
silly we concern ourselves with passing on "genes" -diluted every generation
"memories" -far more important.. distilled and kept alive with each sharing
and of course! i'm quite curious about this statement about being a writer ..?..
