Spalding
Commemorated in Tompkins Square Park
Remembering Spalding
The NYC Memorial, April 13th,
2004
Update - April 27, 2004
I am very excited as today I
am posting Day 1 of my diary
. Periodic updates will mean more days. Just click on the day, and up comes
that day's story. Best to be read out loud. If you like it, tell
me, your friends (especially agents and publishers), and consider a donation
to the Spalding
Gray Memorial Scholarship fund .
Spalding's
Schedule: I left this as is because it was asking Spalding for his
upcoming schedule that started this whole web page . . .
The Program
(The holes and wrinkles were
caused by a thunderstorm, walking from 51st to 59th!)

Today they found the body of
Spalding Gray in the East River where the Staten Island ferry crosses.
I endorsed a zencard
to his family:
" I guess perhaps you wondered
what you would do today. I wondered what i would say. I really have nothing
to say except Spalding was a sage crossing the river, and fortunately for
many, he left some brilliance behind before crossing over . . .
found your body today
now we know you're away
for us you will stay . . .
In thought with you and your
family . . . "
