Interesting that you have my uncle Keith Sagarese on your list of characters, but I didn't read anything else about him. Did you know him? How about Robert Mehlman? Val?

Steve R said...

Hard to say if we're talking about the same person but yes... I knew him.

Steve R said...

I knew Keith via Alex Tekowitz. He was a special person who met a massively undeserved fate.

I don't know if this will get to anyone, but hope so. I worked with Alex Tekowitz and Keith Sagarese many years ago at Time, Inc, and they became friends. I lost touch with them both, and in looking for them on Google, saw that they both had died. Do you have any information about how and when they passed on? They were both dear people who I'd hoped I could reconnect with. They knew me as Rita. Thanks.

Rita: Did you also know Tom O'Malley? Both Keith and Alex met misfortune. Keith was protecting a friend during a break-in/robbery when he was bludgeoned by a barbell-wielding intruder. He died from the brain trauma. Alex was a victim of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s.

I'm not sure if you will get this but I hope you do. Thanks for reaching out.

I just saw this. Yes, very sad ends for a couple of wonderful people. Thank you for the information. Rita

Alex was clearly a victim. His chemistry isn't something I'm comfortable discussing here. Thanks for asking!

Does anyone have a picture of Alex? Only one that I have is from his high school yearbook, Thanks.
