Comments
In the 60s, when I first met Morris, he, Jacobstein and Mersky were the party animals (& Gallagher) at AALL conventions and were more than open to neophytes like myself. His personal touch never faded, including a short note when I reviewed his 6 volume bibliography. Teacher, mentor, jokester - a wry smile, sometimes hidden under a muustache or beard. Memories that live with us for he lives in us. Never forgotten. Sorry I cannot be there May 1 - Law Day.
