This has taken far too long and I wish I'd known of Max's passing. A major figure in my early teen years, Max was the next door neighbour and first adult to treat me like an equal, even tho I was mostly an unpleasant, brash and irritating kid. He was an early connection to "the movie industry" for me, and I still love to do elaborate setups and run movies in the backyard as we did way back then in those spendid yards on Overbrook. Among the memories was the time I had to teach my technically challenged Dad how to set up a projector because they were going to show "secret" movies at some "adult" gathering. To Fern and Gail who were like 2 more sisters to me, so sorry for your loss. We can only treasure the wonderful memories of growing up in different times.
