Re: Dick Christian
Bill,
Sorry for your loss. Condolences to you, his family, and friends.
Maybe when you're up to it, you could tell us a little more about him.

Re: Dick Christian
Hasn't he been posting on here fairly regularly about book tests until just recently?

Re: Dick Christian
So sorry to hear of this. He was a most reliable guide to what's going on in mentalism today. Must have been sudden? Condolences and regrets I never got to know him better.

Re: Dick Christian
Dick was an old friend. He attended my 2 day mentalism workshop in DC last year and we spent many hours together. Little did I know it would be the last time we'd ever be together.
He had been hospitalized since mid summer with a rare blood disorder.
For the last several years he had been working on a complete history of book tests. Earlier this year he asked me if I would write the introduction for him when it was finished. I happily agreed.
Unfortunately, the work was never finished, but his book test lecture notes (which were a basic outline of the larger work) remain a very valuable resource.
I will miss him.
Rest in Peace, Dick.
