I began writing in 2011 after finding out that Ed Clark, Jr. had died 20 years earlier. We had lost touch, and I was wondering why it seemed impossible to find him anywhere on the Internet. As a visual artist, poet, playwright and philosopher, I thought he would be jammin' somewhere on it.

Well, the last five years have flown by, and now I will finish it. Although the initial passion and sharp memories are less so in my mind.

I want to thank those who left comments: two are women I know personally who prefer to remain anonymous. The third was a surprise visitor: Ed's nephew, Richard Hicks, whom I've never met (nor heard of until he managed to track me down after discovering this memorial online). Richard has filled me in on some details of Ed's later years (and so has Ed's mother after that first phone call). A very rich story about how Richard became involved and is the major supporter of this book now. Thank you!
