A dear friend now deceased was one of the original publishers of the Avatar, Boston’s first underground newspaper. That was before Mel Lyman appropriated the paper. He would have loved this (and then pointed out all the things he saw wrong with it).

Miss you, Melvin Preston Burns. You were a good friend and a valuable troublemaker.
