Thread: Maurice Naughton

What they said. Thanks for delivering the sad news, pim. Is there a way to collect his Paris stuff in one lump to print out and enjoy again? -------------------- Twelve more months. M.I.A. "Bird Flu" live .

Merci bien, John. For other who miss Maurice, 200 of his photos are still on flickr, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/urpoet/

And just yesterday, I happened to look up this very Hemingway quote: QUOTE If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast. Young man. Older man. It doesn't really matter. Wherever Maurice is, rest assured, Paris is still with him.
