I just heard that one of my father's closest friends Dick Potar died. I am deeply saddened as we were just discussing him and wondering where he was living. I have the Most colorful memories of Dick. I remember him telling Donna and me when we were all but 19 that we should go to expensive restaurants in the city to meet eligible men. We actually took his advise. He was an elegant dresser and sported a gold cane. He used to drive me to the Longacre theater from Long Island regularly. He was a super fast driver and I remember being terrified as he whizzed in and out of traffic. He loved my dad and my dad loved him. One of my dad's favorite songs was King Pleasure's "There I go there I go." I just heard it on the radio and feel the two of them are up in heaven having a good time together.
