The Editor moseyed along to Boonoo Squared to deliver some back numbers to the returning holiday makers from Crete (as a mark of special affection). Clasped in his hand was the very issue containing the deeply moving Cous-Cous obit. Imagine his surprise to find Cous-Cous there, on the butcher block table and looking nothing like [...]
