This if the first I had heard that he was a suicide. I thought he died of an
opportunistic disease that AIDS victims tended to succumb to most of the
time, at that time. Was that the source of the group house? Would it be
absurd to ask if your friend is okay? <g>

Great anecdote. Love hearing it. Schemering is one of the people I admire
most of the loss to soap scholarship. Thank you for sharing.

However, I intentionally got the 1987 edition & now I'm wanting to get the
1985 for selected contrast. LOL!! Oh, no. More soap books, ... heh heh.
