1126.0. "Dick Martell" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (Ps. 85.10) Sat Aug 12 1995 21:21

Dick Martell.  Who among us remembers Dick Martell?

Dick Martell is gone, but not forgotten.  I don't know why this man's name
comes to mind every so often.

Shalom,
Richard

    i remember Dick. i wrote to him a few times after i read
    some of his notes in what later became CHRISTIAN. later
    i met Dick at a house party and had the chance to speak
    with him a little. Dick had an original way of looking
    at things, history for example was not the same as what
    is generally taught in high schools in this country.
    
    it was shortly after this party that he died, i was told
    that Dick was extremely unhappy and sad...i wish that he'd
    stuck around, he was more than just passingly interesting
    to talk with.. i pray he has found a measure of peace.

    I knew Dick Martel as well as one can know anyone via notes.  Back when
    notesfiles were less restrained he and I used to go at it vigorously. 
    He was a talented man.

      I started noting in Christian just before he died and I remember
      when it was announced that he did die.  People were in shock.  I
      wish I had known him.  If he was sad, I wish maybe I could have
      eased his burden a bit.  Also, it appears he'd have been a
      stimulating guy to talk with and I'd have gotten into that.
