In the case of Studs though, it's an apt description. Like Johnny I had the opportunity to meet him once, and saw him around the city several times.

He and his lovely wife (who died about a year later during heart surgery) were interesting people who had a sense of history and civic responsibility. He appeared gratis at an event the group I co-chaired had, guaranteeing a great turn-out.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-11828858703619631212008-11-01T08:07:00.000-05:002008-11-01T08:07:00.000-05:00Sad news about him.Sad news about him.Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284680909152676159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-10994560077745092882008-11-01T02:45:00.000-05:002008-11-01T02:45:00.000-05:00See ya Studs.
