Hey Dave,
Hope you, Stacie, and Zoe are doing well in your beautiful home! Thought
of you and Judah this weekend as Steph and I were running a 4 mile run
for the Red Cross in our local town of Medina. The premise of the race
was a "Hero Run", where each person wrote the name of one of their heros
on a sign on their chest and then ran the race in their hero's honor. I
chose Judah and had great memories of his clever and joyous spirit as I
ran. Great memories of growing up and goofing off together. He really
new how to celebrate life!
Anyway, wanted to share how good it felt and to ask that you please
share this note with his family. His memory is alive and well in Ohio
Kisses to the girls,
David & Stephie

I thought I would clarify the email. It came to me from David Silverberg who recently got married and moved to Ohio. The fact that he says he was running and thought of Judah was much more about the run than about Judah running. If anyone saw Judah run recently and I mean over the last 10-15 years then one had to admire how he could go from a complete limp or hobble with what seemed to be arthritic knees, back and even possibly elbows to a man on a singular running mission. To illustrate this point imagine Judah coming to the plate to hit for the Desperado’s. When it was his turn to bat he wouldn’t rush to the batters box – rather it was a process. Getting up – bending over to get a bat and then the gestures of fake stretching with looks of pain as he came up to the plate. Once Judah made contact with the ball – all the aches were gone – the head went down, the wheels started spinning and the man would be down the line in a flash. Now if he had good contact the thought of him making the turn for a double was always entertaining. Finally when the play ended and either the inning was over or Judah got out – the old man came back. The speed disappeared and every ache, limp, hobble was back as he slowly inched back to the dugout.

When we were still neighbors, Judah and I use to race down Forrester Dr., from his house to mine and vice versa. He always won. I say this because I am quite quick...but judah was always quicker...and in so many more ways than just physical speed. I miss him dearly, and look forward to the place in time and space when we shall meet, and race once again. I have no illusions about victory...but Judah was always, and I suspect will always be...a most gracious champion. I look forward to the moment when he shall prove this to me once again, and I do so with great love and anticipation.

Judah and baseball, hmmm. Well, there is the Camp Ramah story where Judah (pre-Bar Mitzvah age) whalloped a ball directly toward Stefan (a counselor) who was playing short stop? second base? maybe a runner on Judah's own team? who stopped the ball with his jaw. The rest of that camp session Stefan had his jaw in a sling and I, as camp nurse, was liquifying all his meals and making trips into Ojai for malted milk w/ extra malted.
Sent with much love, much sadness for what will never again be.
