oh how I loved this man....
I was soooo fortunate to have met him twice is relatively private situations. Once was when he played Paul Robison in Boston, and my partner and I actually walked back stage and had a private conversation. Another time, was relatively private ceremony after the Challenger blew up with Crista McAuliffe, the school teacher in NH who was on that space flight. I remember readinng his biography, and just loved him even more, and he lived near where I had spent time in upstate NY...
Such a beautiful man, and what a contribution to theater, film and life in general.....

Very fortunate encounters @nhmemorymaker ... Memories to cherish!
 
He was a force for positive change in an industry that is still shallow, elitist and frequently racist.
A great American.
