I enjoyed reading this. The contrasting and comparing these two characters = fun literary diversion. Nice of you to share!
Cheers,
Erik

Beautifully written, lively and memorable, Tim. Thanks for letting us know about it. Do you know the Chicago fireman, also retired, Bob Clave?

Mary, you're making me blush. But thanks. No, I don't know Bob, but I'm sure he misses the job as much as I do. I was last assigned to Engine 122. If Bob is a South-Sider, he would know it. Are you a Chicagoan too?

Not a Chicagoan. Met Bob elsewhere and he inspired a couple of my poems - I thought he was terrific - a giant.

Mary, I knew some guys like that on the job, guys I'd follow to the gates of hell.
Gail, you're a lifelong learner yourself. You've probably read Julian's "Revelations of Divine Love."
Thanks, Martin. Essays are fine, but a symphony orchestra is civilization's highest achievement.
