IN MEMORIAL

JAMES LANGERGAARD
("The crowd is untruthful.")

Dear Other:

I met James in January of 2009 at the NY Existential Book club which was discussing the "The Irrational Man." James was the founder of the group. We were scheduled to meet again at the Existential Reading Circle's August 2009 meeting. Unfortunately, this was not to occur due to tragedy. James was killed in a bicycle accident on the boulevard a few days before the meeting.

I wanted to say something about James here, as I felt it was a tribute to his efforts in running an Existential book club. James was a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, an advocate for bicyclists and sometimes street philosopher. Oh, and he was fond of cats.

May he rest in peace.
