We met at Nate's funeral, and have corres...Tom-<br />We met at Nate's funeral, and have corresponded before, about your first book of poems, and a poem I sent you about St. Louis, inspired by your poems about NBA cities.<br /><br />I happen to be at Donner Lake for 2 days, which prompts me to write: I recently uncovered a long piece I wrote about Nate when he turned 50. I really liked it, more than I had imagined I still would. I'm wondering if you might have an idea if anyone -in family or Warriors' organization (I know Al but have no contact info) might want to see or use it.<br /><br />Or you might just want to see it. My email is boblisss@aol.com. <br /><br />That ceremony was just wonderful last week. What a man! <br /><br />I just read your assessment of Nate vs. other greats. Covers the waterfront really well. My nay hesitations about whether his offensive skills were better than Willis's and that he was a better defender than Walton (leave out the longevity part). But even to be their equal in those areas is incredible, as was he, as player and gentleman.<br /><br />BobBob Lissnoreply@blogger.com
