I have this image of Lew arriving at the Pearly Gates: "Lew Alquist! You're here! Thank God! (oh, by the way, He's over there.) We've got about six weeks to get this installation ready for the Pope!"
Lew, I will think of your laugh every day for the rest of my life.

Lew once sent me a flyer for a missle--the sort of flyer you might find on your car's windshield. It explained how the missle could be dismantled and shipped via truck, and made it almost seem like anyone could get such a thing. Naturally I posted it on the local grocery store bulletin board. Perhaps people searching for apartments and used refrigerators paused at his flyer, and reflected for a moment on how easy it is to get war materials. Now that's Art.

I arrived in Arizona, having never even visited, on a scholarship. Lew was the second person I met. He was that great combination of sweet and sarcastic.
I didn't have money for art supplies. Lew took me to a salvage yard and out for a cold brew. We walked the river and hauled out crap. It was the first time I felt free from poverty, worry and convention. It was the first time I really felt like an artist.
I miss not having him on the planet. My own brother has liver cancer now too. If it doesn't work out for him I know Lew will be waiting for him with a cold beer. I miss you Lew...and cheese will make you free.
An old friend of Lew's ... going back to college in the 60's ...
As he approached the next level of this fixed game,I know he would have said 'Let's rethink this, what's really the next appropriate reality, and how do I perceive this transition into a meaningful experience and learn from it?'
Miss you my old friend ...

Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
I knew Lew when he was at SAIC (Chicago) and always loved his warped sense of humor and his unique kinetic sculptures. I still remember these moving digits, I think called something like "Grandpa's finger".
