I’ve never met him and it killed me the day I found out he was no longer with us.
I remember sometime in 2003-2004, I was in a communications tech class and we were watching a movie about the development of computer companies like Microsoft, etc. Anyway, suddenly, this British man comes on and starts talking (like any student XP I’m only half awake) The teacher (a regular goofball) does an impression of his accent (trying to be funny), we all laugh, and move on . . . then, I remembered the name – ‘Douglas Adams’. I look at the stack of books on my desk and see that it’s the same name of the author who wrote the book I had just started reading – ‘The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy’.
2006 – 2007
I was taking a tour of Washington College and I walk in to take a look at the Literary House. I was looking around and I saw the chalkboard _ (see picture) That made me feel all warm and squishy inside.
Douglas Adams lives on!
