What Herman says is correct, and, I think, applies today as well.  Kindness
seems always in short supply, and it is always striking to run into someone
who cares, the more so when they seem to have some recognized success.

 

I even recall a certain Bill (this is an old memory) in a checkered bathrobe
being awakened before dawn and expressing a certain gratefulness at the
person ringing the bell . . .

Kindness could be in short supply in those days.  Some of us seemed to take
it as a leftover of Christian moralism - for others, it got in the way of
our persistent attempts to dis-illusion one another.  For others, the sense
of mission justified giving short shrift to those who seemed less capable or
clear in their own thinking.  Kindness was often quite a feat in that time.

Good follow up. We were in that period of "Those Who Care." Len had gained
some notoriety and wealth, and yet he cared. Admittedly on my part there was
some of that young person's awe for a person who dressed so well and was so
physically impressive. I was in awe of the whole North Shore Group.

 

There was one other thing about Len, he was kind. In a way I wish I had
something deeper to say. Altogether it is that Len made a deep impression on
me, not necessarily of a "jolly green" giant, but of a giant in his own
right.

How was he a "hero"?

While still quite young, I was in the North Shore House and consequently was
part of the North Shore Group with Len Dresslar and others. He was a hero
for me.
