In my most recent post I spoke of anticipating Michael Perry's tribute to Gene Logsdon within the week. That estimate of the wait morphed into some two months, but the tribute has now appeared.

I may have grown tired of the wait and may have even lost faith in my judgment that such a tribute would appear. Patience, my man. I have not been disappointed. Michael's account of his relationship with Gene over the years has me asking if I missed opportunity along the way. Gene did respond to the one and only comment I posted to one of his blog entries a few years back--my fleeting touch with greatness.
