In the last twenty-four hours I received the sad news Noted author, artist, WWII vet, and all round mensch Irving Stetner pasted away. As we were out of touch for some time, and usually on Lower East Side Patrol the news came to me as of late as if it was yesterday, to whose family I offer my sincere condolences and respects.
Strangely I started off my email "Re: IRVING I AM SO HAPPY" because I had not realized that Irving had passed away, for which deficiency I also offer my sincere regrets to his family.

WoW I always thought of visiting, it is really wonderful you perhaps don't remember our meeting and conversations in Manhattan (1975-80s) from where I remember "Chocolate Babies" Some how our meeting has come to mean something more as I am living in Pennsylvania now where I am working, and learned you had lived. I would enjoy greatly meeting again which would be an honor.Lately I've gotten the strange idea of starting a publishing house (perhaps I am insane) for which I have been placing my cranky ruff and gruff notices online, as I have received some funding, incorporated, bought equipment, and improved my credit rating (which I am maintaining.Perhaps I am losing my mind as all I like to do is this thing they call "art" as the business bores me but as point requires me. Please tell me what you think about my business presentations as it is my goal to generate 12 authors I could publish by printing them myself (two manuscripts apiece to start) PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK perhaps I am getting prematurely old (and losing my mind) as here I have no one here, and no visitors too many Hillbillies I am told.Peace
