oy. i have noticed that when you get an unexpected email titled only with someone's name, it is almost always bad news.
i met adam once but have enjoyed his posts here on the list so many times. i'm proud to have helped sweep during an open-garden event at the clinton community garden last fall. i showed up to tour the garden; then asked if i could help with anything that needed doing; and adam put a broom in my hand. if he is gone, new york has lost a true new yorker, full of stories, opinions, historical memories, and amazing information. -----Original Message----- >From: jude carson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Oct 18, 2007 8:12 AM >To: James Kuhns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ACGA Listserv ><[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Community_garden] Adam Honigman > >I am shocked and saddened to hear of Adam's death.
