PS I was just -re-reading this as I posted it on facebook to try to get Richard and Barr to comment. Not sure if RB is a member here. I know Barr is not.
Not only did Nathan refuse to be paid for his work, he actually paid for copies of stuff for J. (I just noticed Drew's comment about being paid). In fact on one of the nights during a copying session that Nathan paid for Jay got very angry that Nathan would not contact Walt Brown. I am not sure why Nathan would not, I guess he felt his wok was done, we never discovered his reasons, I know that he was quite upset at the extent of J's anger over this. He called me quite late in the evening, totally unlike him. So for a time they did not speak, then a few months later Nathan told me he'd been sitting in church (where his son was the Pastor) and began praying for J. Asking God who could help J. He then told me he realized it had to be him. So he got a ride to J's and they made up and as a result J recommitted his life to God. Walt was with J when he died and called in a Priest to administer last rites. Walt would later re-count the supreme irony that J had passed at 11:22 pm. (5/25/05).
