My mom called me about this, she said the whole town's torn up over it. Never met the man but you can tell from how people are talking about him what kind of coach he was.

For Ramón Luis Rivera · 24d ago

My mother grew up in Bayamon and used to tell me stories about the parks he built there, like she was still a kid running around them. Read his memoir a few years back, Bendecido, simplemente trabajando, after she mailed me a copy. Ninety seven years old. That's a long stretch of history to carry.

For Antony Donaldson · 26d ago

Tate bought Take Five off him in 63 after that Rowan Gallery show. Went and stood in front of it once, on a work trip to London. Just a clean, cold, perfect piece of British Pop.

For Larry Neal Sparks · 18 Sept 2026

my mom called and told me Larry Sparks passed, she used to know the family back when they lived near Centerville. 66 years married to the same woman. that's rare these days.

For Aleksandr Pashchenko · 8 Sept 2026

A man who walked in off the street to ask about a job and stayed fifty years. His 687 roles are a record of devotion. The kind of artist we need more of.

For Nina Shipman · 8 Sept 2026

Nell Shipman's granddaughter. Three generations in the business. That's a throughline most people don't see.

For Guus Kouwenhoven · 6 Sept 2026

My history professor used the Kouwenhoven case to show how business and war get tangled up in places like Liberia. Hard to forget once you understand it.
