RED'S SON, GRANDSON, GREAT-GRANDSON AND MANY OTHER CLOSE FREINDS attended the ceremony.
i had been told by newsstand owner BEN that red's ashes were scattered in the front sidewalk back in 1998,
but aparentely it had not been carried out. well today red's wish was granted,
ARNIE STODOLSKY, (red's son) scattered red's ashes on the sidewalk in front of the gallery.
THIS WAS RED's DYING WISH.

there wasn't a dry eye in the room, including moi.

arnie also gave me a bottle containing red's ashes. this will be on permanente display atop the original bookcase.
come by and visit red.
