In 1981, while auditing a course at Pendle Hill, the Quaker retreat and learning center, I was given the honor of picking up Howard Zinn at the Philly airport by our prof.
He was a learned, gracious and brilliant man with a heart as big as they come, and he devoted his life to social justice.
I will miss him.
There are few left in this world of weasely moral and mental midgets and bloviating blowhards who could come close to combining his integrity with his erudition and his burning, life-long commitment to justice and truth.
Here's to you, Howard.
