I&#8217;m still incapable of expressing all that he meant to me.  He was a mentor and a friend and a big brother and an inspiration.  It seems impossible to me that I won&#8217;t be exchanging chatty emails with him anymore and hearing about the amazing stuff he&#8217;s been working on lately.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I looked through my backup drive and found this old treasure from Catching the Wish in 2006.  Here&#8217;s the story: The mayor and other entities were fighting to tear down the library and digitize all the books.  Dave&#8217;s character, Dale Sprague, and my character, Sarah Wyatt, were totally opposed to the idea.  The players rallied to the cause, bombarding the fictional development company with email and setting up a petition site to save the library.  This is the audio recording of a call-in City Council meeting where Aglaura opened the floor to let non-residents make statements about the issue.  All those who called in were players, save the crazy singing lady, who was one of the puppetmasters &#8211; Haley Moore. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0Mayor Dobbs was played by Paul Melamud, Sam was Michelle Senderhauf, Bruce was Nick Braccia, and Diana was Kassandra\u00a0Standridge.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \"><a href=\"http:\/\/addlepated.net\/media\/ANJ_CC_Meeting_6.22.2006.mp3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1647 alignnone\" title=\"anjlogosm\" src=\"http:\/\/addlepated.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/anjlogosm.jpg\" alt=\"anjlogosm\" width=\"124\" height=\"120\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \"><a href=\"http:\/\/addlepated.net\/media\/ANJ_CC_Meeting_6.22.2006.mp3\">Aglaura City Council Meeting, June 22, 2006 (MP3)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent the weekend in Pennsylvania at the memorials for Dave Szulborski.
