Another Bill Meehan Story (from TSCM) -- I knew I worked with some good guys on this site, but reader emails over the past few days have given me a whole new picture of my team: "I'm writing to you, frankly, because no member of my family knows or cares about Bill Meehan, but I've so enjoyed his intelligence, insight and sense of humor, and I'm absolutely stunned by this development...." and another: "I first met Bill in March at the benefit in Todd's honor (UCP). I had become friends with Todd via e-mail last October (a rather unique circumstance... I am in an electric wheelchair, paralyzed from the neck down as a result of a diving accident sustained when I was 16. Todd and I had become friends online and he wanted to fly me and a couple of friends up to New York for the benefit --- an incredibly gracious gesture at his expense.) "After the March meeting, Bill and I stayed in touch through emails and phone calls....was warmly welcomed by Bill and invited to come to his office at the World Trade Center.... When we arrived, he warmly welcomed us, gave me a hug and proceeded to show us around the offices and the rest of the center. After visiting and hanging out for a little while upstairs, drinking cappuccino (of course he was having his requisite, the Bud)....he took us to a nice outdor restaurant, live music playing, while we talked for two or three hours as we watched the ferries going back and forth to Ellis Island..... This reader continues about Bill Meehan: "As it became time to say goodbye, we walked back to the subway station which he catches to his apartment, stopping for a few moments of prayer together (we had previously talked about the Lord, something he was always wiling and comfortable doing --- expressing an awareness of need for blessing and grace.)... "When we finished he had tears in his eyes and his nose was running, obviously being of tender heart and not ashamed to express his emotion....he was willing to show warmth and compassion for someone from which he had no other benefit than friendship.... Please keep me posted as our friend is in my prayers day and night. I refuse to give up as the prize is just too great." Amen, David. There are a lot of prayers for Bill tonight. thestreet.com
