[LEMONS] 10.23.2001
The Rev. Howard Finster's obituary in the New York Times. Southerners like he shall never walk the Earth again, they are all passing from the Earth, and with them Southern culture.
"He is more alive now than he ever has been." -- How true. I'm really pretty shaken up about this for some reason. I had not thought about what a special place he held in my heart for a long time. Nor had I thought about how he represented, for me, the South in all of its magnificent eccentric and decaying splendor. Even though I only met him twice, I'm going to miss him profoundly.
