September 20th. 2003:— Gus Blaisdell, philosopher, writer on art, bookseller (The Living Batch) died
of a heart attack "last night right in front of the Frontier Restaurant on central a few steps from where his old book store had been. I just spoke with him on Monday about a trip he & Elizabeth were planning in the spring for Japan. He sounded good -- good spirits. Fast - what else can I say but he will leave an empty spot that only he could fill." Skip Graham
wrote to me. Yes, a gap in Albuquerque and the world.
Good to see friends at the Whitechapel: Kent was in full autumn, foxes and pheasants crossing the lanes.
