A Final Letter To My Dear Departed Older Brother Timothy Grogan Who, at 71, Passed Away On September 14, 2022:
Dear Tim,
Oh, I’ve written this salutation to you so many times in the decades following you leaving home for college. There were many letters to Grand Rapids and New York, not only during the college years but well beyond – during the two years I was laid up at home following my accident in Boston, my years struggling to break into film in Los Angeles, my grad school experience at USC and, of course, aerospace. And then Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I wrote you very long letters talking about everything. I talked about the interviews I was having with production companies in Hollywood, I talked about the story ideas for screenplays I was working on. And you didn’t just hastily scan these letters. I could tell that you read them carefully because your feedback was always detailed.
