I was unaware of the passing of Myron We have been friends for over 50 years .He will be greatly missed.It was a privilege to have known him.
I only knew of Myron, never knew him personally, but hearing about him inspired me to write a short story about a NYC artist who returns every year to his small hometown in northeastern Nebraska and has a romance with a high school classmate there, whose ex-husband doesn’t take kindly to that fact and decides to kill them. I always wanted to meet him but never did, and now it’s too late, alas… RIP, Myron… Dreysamuelson3@gmail.com
