I had the distinct honor of meeting Kurt Vonnegut on several occasions over the years. Although he made the East Coast his primary residence, he came back to his hometown often and was generous with his time. He spoke at both large scale events and more intimate, writerly gatherings. If you were lucky, you could run into him downtown on the night before a speaking engagement. He loved walking the streets of Indianapolis, revisiting his family’s architectural legacy.
He will be sorely missed. So it goes.
