Re: Eugene Burger: The Last Lesson
Thanks Ted! It appears that B'Wave may have been the last effect Burger performed. Not surprising since he considered it the greatest packet trick of the 20th Century. I always liked his decree that magic is best performed after dark.

Absolutely beautiful, Ricardo.
I have often wondered how his transition played out, and am so grateful to now know.
Thank you so very much for sharing.
Truly inspiring, and extremely well written.

Re: Eugene Burger: The Last Lesson
I haven't been here on the forum in quite awhile--years, actually. I stumbled onto this thread and the link to Dr. Rosenkranz's article by accident a few days ago.
It's brilliant. Thanks for the link, Ted; and thanks to Dr. Rosenkranz for a great remembrance. Before my dad passed about three years ago, the oncologist asked him what he wanted to accomplish. Dad responded: "I want to live until I die."
It's clear that Eugene wanted to live until he died. I now know how I want to go when it is my time.
