Jerry Nachman, writer, humorist, critic, columnist, and friend, died at 3:00 am yesterday morning. I'm grateful to Rita Abrams for giving us regular updates and letting us know what we could do for him during the last days, when it was difficult for him to receive visitors. She had a terrific idea of our sending her our favorite columns for a scrapbook. I had dozens I'd clipped out, but one I couldn't part with was the one on Woolworth's--the one no longer on Powell and Market. I took a picture of it to send, and it was suddenly the background for my desktop!
Before his most recent book launch--Showstoppers--I posed in front of books by him with my earrings made up of miniature record covers of Broadway musicals.
Today I looked again at a "Happy 80th Birthday, Jerry" tribute I made for him on January 10 of this year.
