Arthur Spiegelman memorial

I'd like to thank all the people who came out in the pouring rain to remember Arthur in New York, especially those who came from so far. And most especially Evelyn Leopold and Paul Holmes who actually did all the work involved.

I also want to thank all the people who sent me e-mails, notes, phone calls, flowers and Zabar packages. I'm still very moved by the stories you told about Arthur and the affection you had for him.

I'm always happy to see Reuters people past and present. I'd love to see any of you who might be passing through LA.

With much affection, ■
