I have a collection of a few thousand somewhat ordinary covers. I was looking at a picture of one a few minutes ago that I had scanned a while back. It's missing the date slug, but it is addressed to an Earle Barr. I have many of his covers but I've never met him. I just Googled him now, and he passed away 24 days ago. It turns out he was quite an interesting man and a talented artist. This past Saturday I Googled a good friend from high school's name, just to see what came up. I don't use Facebook so I'm not as connected as some people. Turns out he passed away last May at the age of 53. I've got a bad streak going here. Here is the cover and this fine man's obit.
