Were you also at Freddy's birthday party in the Memory Motel? I was. I can't remember Carol was there, but as the (pro bono) creative lead editor of SPM I spent the whole night (till around 04.00 in the morning) talking with James in his room with the colorful painted wall. Highly stimulating conversations we had, also about Carol. 21 years ago, myohmy, time flies! I was sent there by the owner of SPM, because people thought that Keith would visit Freddy's birthday. I could not imagine Keith going there, because security measures were not at place.
It's sad to hear that James' co-editor Carol has passed away. I'm sure James will have a hard time. Bless her soul.
