Antone's Nightclub
Two Favorites Gone – Shipman and Janes
RECEIVED Wed., June 6, 2007
Dear Editor,
I was gone, out of state the last week of May last year when Clifford Antone died. Now, again, out of state, and two more Austin icons have passed. Councilwoman Sally Shipman was one of my favorites, for her intelligence and kindness. The environmental movement learned a lesson when they turned on her – for the Barton Creek PUD [Planned Unit Development] vote – and got Louise Epstein. Sally's devotion to Austin neighborhoods could never be equaled. Then comes word that Daryl Janes has passed. I was always a big fan of the Daryl Herald he and Daryl Slusher published. Another intelligent, charming person who cared deeply about Austin.
A couple more little pieces of my beloved community are gone. I am smaller for it.
