Alan:

I always call him WQJ because it seems to be "the form". I never call her
Mmme Blavatskaya because HPB was somebody else altogether. Now while I
admire WQJ very much and think him very ill used indeed, I certainly, based
on our knowledge of him, wouldn't ever call him "good ol' Bill Judge"..I'd
be extremely surprised if anyone ever called him Bill....In fact, it's a
shame, a really big shame,. but we don't know very much at all about the
personal side of this immensely intelligent and talented man. What did his
friends call him?
