Anyway, My intent to post here was just to comment on Jay and the 5 year anniversary of his death being yesterday.
I wish the rersearchers would stop fighting and work in cooperation. But all I have seen in over 37 years of this is in- fighting. So sad.
I too am aware that some of Jay's work is safe. Jay did have a life before he met Walt. I asked not to be told with whom or where anything is because
I don't want to be put in any position of being asked any more questions about Jay or his work.
Today I just want to remember his friendship and his wonderful humor. And how willingly he shared with those lucky enough to learn about him by word of mouth. He asked only one thing: that his id never be revealed. I kept that promise until 5/25/05 when I announced his death at the Ed Forum. Prior to that I never said his name to anyone, except those who knew him. Jay was one in a million:that mind filled with a zillion facts. He was a walking computer. And he was alway willing to help other researchers. But he often got burned. No names here but I know of several who literally ripped him off.
ANd by which I don't mean Walt. Walt knows who I am talking about.
But Walt, untimately.....one is left to draw one's own conclusons. I came to like Walt by the end and we had many pleasant talks, especially after Jay died. I hope someday Walt does the fight thing. For Jay.
He will never rest in peace otherwise.
